Home Speakers call on judiciary and legal community to uphold the rule of law The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and its allies on Saturday announced a series of rallies aimed at what they described as the protection of the Constitution and the release of party founder Imran Khan, as political tensions continue to simmer across the country. The announcement came during a joint press conference in Lahore, where leaders from the Tehreek-e-Tahafuz Ain Pakistan (TTAP) and allied groups appeared alongside senior PTI figures. Among those present were TTAP chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja, senior leader Asad Qaiser, lawyer Sardar Latif Khosa, Umar Dar, and Haqooq-e-Khalq Party leader Ammar Jan. Achakzai delivered a sharply worded critique of the current political system, alleging institutional decline and raising concerns about electoral processes. He also questioned the removal of PTI’s election symbol, calling it unprecedented. In a separate remark, he referred to past incidents involving security forces and civilians, warning that history shows adverse outcomes when force is used against the public.
