In a statement issued after its central committee meeting and Iftar gathering in Islamabad, the alliance demanded that Imran Khan be immediately shifted to Shifa International Hospital for specialised treatment and examined by his personal physicians. It also called for lifting restrictions on his access to lawyers and family members, reiterating that he should be released.
The meeting was attended by key opposition leaders, including National Assembly Opposition Leader Mehmood Khan Achakzai, Senate Opposition Leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja, former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser.
The alliance also demanded the release of other detained political figures, including Bushra Bibi, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Yasmin Rashid and others.
Beyond the health issue, TTAP expressed concern over rising terrorism, strained ties with Afghanistan, economic challenges and what it described as growing repression. It urged the government to formulate a comprehensive national security strategy in consultation with all stakeholders.
The statement further warned against potential regional escalation, including threats of a US attack on Iran, and called on the government to play an active diplomatic role.
Opposition leaders also announced plans to present an alternative budget and policy proposals in the coming months to address the country’s economic and constitutional challenges.
