Opposition Alliance Presses for Joint Parliamentary Session on Afghanistan, Warns Against KP Power Meddling

The TTAP move sharpens a partisan clash over the KP chief minister transition, with PML-N denouncing its statement.

Overview

  • The multi-party TTAP urged the government to call a joint sitting of Parliament to craft a unified national policy on Afghanistan and brief the country on security matters.
  • TTAP condemned what it called federal interference in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s power transfer and criticised the ECP for declaring certain MPAs “independent” ahead of the chief minister vote.
  • The alliance warned that any horse-trading or unconstitutional steps in the KP chief minister’s election would be the federal government’s responsibility.
  • TTAP expressed support for Saudi Arabia’s stance on Afghanistan and called for resolving PakistanAfghanistan tensions through dialogue and mutual trust.
  • PML-N Senator Irfan Siddiqui rejected the TTAP statement as shameful, saying it failed to condemn terrorists and instead maligned security institutions.
