August 5 to mark countrywide protests for Constitution, says Allama Raja Nasir

ISLAMABAD: Political leaders from various opposition parties have voiced their positions on the Movement to Protect the Constitution of Pakistan, as debates over democracy, public rights, and the May 9 incidents continue to dominate the national political landscape.

Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, speaking on ABN News’ program Debate @ 8, described the Movement to Protect the Constitution as a joint alliance of opposition parties, emphasizing that its roadmap and declaration were unanimously agreed upon.

He announced that the alliance will hold protests, press conferences, seminars, and communication campaigns across the country to highlight public issues and demand constitutional supremacy.

“Every citizen is facing difficulties. The constitution and law have disappeared, the parliament and judiciary have become ineffective, and institutions have lost their worth,” Abbas said.

He added that August 5 will mark nationwide protests, and warned that Pakistan’s integrity depends on the rule of law.

He criticized the targeting of the PTI founder, calling the demand for an apology over May 9 frivolous, and questioned why those who repeatedly violated the constitution are not held accountable.
