ISLAMABAD— The political climate in Pakistan is once again heating up over recent constitutional amendments, as Barrister Gohar, Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), issued a strong declaration against the changes. He unequivocally stated that whenever his party returns to power, they will repeal (withdraw) the controversial constitutional amendments passed by the incumbent federal government.
Addressing the media in Islamabad, Barrister Gohar heavily criticized the process leading to the amendments. He argued that such vital constitutional decisions should not be rushed through “in haste” and that resolutions made in the legislative assembly must be based on national interest, not “personal gain.” He maintained that the current set of amendments runs “contrary to the spirit of the Constitution” itself, reiterating the party’s prior stance that they would not be a party to these changes. This rigid position underscores the deep ideological and procedural rift between the governing coalition and the opposition on matters of constitutional authority.
Sharing the platform, Mahmood Khan Achakzai, head of the Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party, also weighed in on the political impasse. He expressed willingness for dialogue with the government but stipulated that the negotiations would center around a single, foundational demand: the return of their political mandate. This is a direct reference to the persistent opposition claims regarding alleged irregularities in the February general elections.
Achakzai further announced that the political confrontation would extend beyond the parliament. He revealed plans to officially launch a movement and organize widespread protests starting this Friday. These announcements signal a renewed phase of political agitation and street power demonstrations across the country in the coming days.
