Pakistan’s opposition alliance announced on Tuesday the launch of a movement to restore the constitution, calling for public marches from Parliament to the Supreme Court.
Speaking on the occasion, Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas urged citizens to come forward, saying, “It is time to step out in the country to protect the future generations.”
PTI leader Asad Qaiser criticized the government, saying that while maintaining law and order is the responsibility of security agencies and the state, the administration has been preoccupied with filing cases against opponents and introducing unlawful constitutional amendments.
In Lahore, the High Court Bar Association held a general house meeting, where lawyers staged protests and carried out a rally. Participants raised slogans against the 27th Amendment and marched from GPO Chowk to Judges’ Gate, demanding restoration of constitutional safeguards.
During the rally, lawyer Salman Akram Raja emphasized, “We must rise for the sake of our future generations; we cannot stay confined to our homes.”
The opposition’s campaign signals growing tensions over recent constitutional changes and an attempt to mobilize public opinion against what they describe as government overreach.
