ISLAMABAD: Senate Opposition Leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas has strongly criticized the existing political system, claiming that its foundations were flawed from the beginning. He also expressed serious concerns over the political situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the reported health condition of former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan.
Speaking about the country’s political developments, Allama Nasir Abbas said the current system had been facing fundamental problems since its establishment. He accused the government of disregarding the public mandate and criticized its approach toward Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Referring to the emergency situation in the province, he alleged that the authorities had effectively refused to recognize the mandate given by the people.
Opposition Moves Toward All Parties Conference
Allama Raja Nasir Abbas announced that opposition parties were preparing to organize an All Parties Conference (APC) to discuss the country’s political challenges and develop a joint strategy.
He said the final date of the conference would be decided after consultations among members of a designated committee.
According to the Senate opposition leader, the committee will include Kamran Murtaza, Nasir Shirazi, Salman Akram Raja, Aamir Dogar and Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar.
He further stated that Akhwanzada Hussain Yousafzai and Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry would serve as coordinators for the proposed conference.
The planned gathering is intended to bring political parties together to discuss constitutional matters, democratic principles and the country’s political situation.
Nasir Abbas Expresses Concern Over Imran Khan’s Health
During his remarks, Allama Raja Nasir Abbas also raised concerns about the health of imprisoned PTI founder Imran Khan.
He claimed that Khan’s health was at risk and expressed particular concern over reports that his blood pressure was not returning to normal.
The opposition leader described the reported situation as distressing and accused the government of crossing acceptable limits in its handling of matters involving the former prime minister.
His comments reflected growing concerns among opposition leaders regarding Khan’s health and access to medical care.
However, the claims about his medical condition were presented by opposition figures, and no independent medical assessment was provided in the reported statements.
Mahmood Khan Achakzai Calls for Parliamentary Decision-Making
Meanwhile, National Assembly Opposition Leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai emphasized the importance of strengthening parliament’s role in national decision-making.
He said opposition leaders wanted major national policies to be formulated through parliament rather than outside the elected legislative framework.
Achakzai stressed that parliamentary institutions should play a central role in shaping the country’s future policies and addressing important national issues.
His remarks came as opposition parties continued discussions about developing a coordinated political approach.
Salman Akram Raja Raises Questions About Khan’s Condition
PTI leader Salman Akram Raja also expressed concern over Imran Khan’s reported health condition.
He said the available information had created more than mere suspicion about Khan’s well-being, suggesting that opposition leaders had serious concerns about whether his health was being properly managed.
Raja also welcomed the proposed All Parties Conference, describing it as an important first step toward building national political consensus.
He said PTI and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) representatives would sit together during the consultation process to discuss the country’s political situation.
According to Raja, a committee would determine the next course of action following discussions among participating political leaders.
Opposition Seeks Wider Political Consensus
Salman Akram Raja said opposition parties intended to invite political groups from across Pakistan to participate in efforts aimed at protecting the Constitution and strengthening democratic principles.
He emphasized that cooperation among political forces could help create a broader national consensus on constitutional and political matters.
The proposed APC is expected to provide a platform for discussions among parties holding different political positions but sharing concerns about the country’s current direction.
The latest statements from Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, Mahmood Khan Achakzai and Salman Akram Raja indicate that opposition leaders are seeking greater coordination in response to ongoing political developments.
While preparations for the conference have been announced, its final schedule and the complete list of participating parties have yet to be confirmed.
The proposed meeting could become an important forum for opposition parties to discuss their concerns and formulate a collective political strategy.
