In a bold move against Pakistan's existing political structure, a coalition of six opposition parties called for urgent national dialogue to forge a new democratic charter. Hailing from the Tehreek-e-Tahafuz-e-Aayeen-e-Pakistan, leaders condemned the current 'hybrid model' due to its dilution of constitutional and parliamentary powers.

During a press conference, TTAP emphasized the disintegration of Pakistan's social contract with its citizens and urged for consensus on constitutional rule, judicial independence, and a free election commission. The organization pledged support for anti-government protests, underlining a comprehensive strategy to navigate the nation's turmoil.

TTAP also voiced its objection to recent legal actions against figures like Imran Khan and warned of potential economic implications of ignoring their calls. As Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian prepares to visit, tensions remain high amidst ongoing political and socio-economic scrutiny.
