\nIslamabad
\nPakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Omar Ayub Khan on Friday said that the former ruling party, under the umbrella of \u201cgrand opposition alliance\u201d, would launch a protest movement against the alleged rigging in the February 8 general elections and \u201crestoration of the Constitution and democracy\u201d in the country from Balochistan.
\nEarlier this month, the Imran Khan-founded party had announced launching a countrywide movement against alleged rigging in general elections from April 13. Addressing the media in Rawalpindi after meeting the PTI founder in Adiala jail, party leader Asad Qaiser said a first rally would be held in Pishin district as part of the protest movement.
\nThe Khan-founded party believed that the incumbent rulers stole their mandate in the elections and the results were changed in Form 47s to benefit the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
\nAyub said that the protest movement would be initiated from Balochistan and later the scope of the protests would be expended countrywide.
\nA meeting of the opposition parties [scheduled today] would discuss inclusion of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman [in the grand opposition alliance].
\nEarlier this month, the PTI formed the opposition alliance as part of its efforts to give the incumbent government a tough time. \u201cWe are the strongest opposition in history, we are not among those who backtrack.\u201d
\nThe grand opposition alliance was agreed on one point that everyone should respect the Constitution and the law.
\nInvestment trade and development are linked with the supremacy of the constitution, said the PTI leader.
\nSaudi businessmen were investing in solar energy project in Balochistan when the PTI government was toppled down and PDM-II government was formed, he added.
\nKhan was ousted as the prime minister of Pakistan from office through a no-confidence motion in April 2022.
\nMoving on to the alleged crackdown against the PTI workers after the May 9 riots, Ayub said that over 200 cases were loaded against the PTI founder, adding that their people suffered all kind of brutalities.
\n\u201cOur mission is [upholding] the supremacy of the constitution and law,\u201d he said and asked why were they pushed against the wall. \u201cWe want the country to be strong.\u201d He also raised questions over the Senate elections and said, \u201cPeople will ensure equal implementation of law for all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
