The 26th Constitutional Amendment, which focuses on judicial reforms and was fiercely opposed by the previous ruling party in both houses of parliament during its approval earlier this month, has prompted the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to announce the start of a statewide protest movement.
Salman Akram Raja, the secretary general of the party created by Imran Khan, made the statement during a news conference in Lahore on Thursday, calling the 26th Amendment a “attack on the Constitution of Pakistan and the judiciary.”
He stated that his party will vehemently oppose the constitutional amendments and that a strategy had been developed to conduct protests and sit-ins around the nation.
Following a string of protests and power shows organized by the main opposition, the protest movement’s major announcement was made.
