Against ‘undemocratic forces’: Opposition’s grand alliance confab kicks off in Islamabad

ISLAMABAD: With a focus on the supremacy of the Constitution, the opposition’s two-day Grand Alliance Conference commenced in Islamabad on Wednesday. The development comes after opposition leaders announced going ahead with the event following an emergency huddle at Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-e-Pakistan (TTAP) Mahmood Khan Achakzai’s residence. The meeting was attended by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Salman Akram Raja, Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) chief Sahibzada Hamid Raza, Awam Pakistan’s Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen’s (MWM) Nasir Shirazi and others. “We will hold these illegitimate rulers accountable in every street. We do not accept this illegitimate assembly,” said Achakzai while expressing a lack of trust in the legislature.
