Mahmood Khan Achakzai has clarified that the newly formed alliance of opposition parties, Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Aain, is not cobbled together to spread hatred against any state institution, including the army and spy agencies.
Talking to the media in Islamabad, Achakzai said, “we have no differences with the army. We acknowledge that no country can operate without the help of its spy agencies.
Achakzai, representing PkMAP, was elected earlier this month as head of the six-party alliance also comprising the PTI, the JI, the SIC, the MWM, and the BNP-M. The Thursday meeting in Islamabad was also attended by representatives of the parties—including PTI’s Omar Ayub, SIC’s Hamid Raza, and MWM’s Nasir Abbas.
He further added that we want to clarify that this alliance was not formed to spread hatred against any institution. It has been created to save Pakistan. Because the country is going through its most dangerous period at the moment, and it can only be saved from crises through social consensus.
Speaking on the occasion, Omar Ayub said the alliance will hold a protest on Friday (today) against the government formed based on “Form 47” and alleged rigging in by-elections in Punjab.
“We will stage a protest against the illegal detention of our workers and leaders, including PTI founder Imran Khan. On May 5, we will stage a rally in Karachi, and on May 10, we will hold a public meeting in Faisalabad. We will continue this protest throughout the country,” he said.
