ISLAMABAD: The Political Committee of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced strong resistance against the constitutional amendments while announcing a nationwide protest on Friday.

In a meeting of PTI’s political committee chaired by Barrister Gohar, it was decided to strongly oppose the constitutional changes.

According to the statement, a nationwide protest has been called on Friday against the amendments and ill-treatment of Founder Chairman Imran Khan.

All regional and local organizations have been directed to hold a peaceful and vigorous protest outside the district headquarters after Friday prayers.

The statement added that the government’s attempt to distort the constitution through amendments will not be accepted. All sections of society who believe in the supremacy of the Constitution are urged to participate in peaceful protests.

The committee also agreed to do everything possible to block the amendments in both houses of Parliament while demanding immediate restoration of basic rights of Imran Khan and access to his family, lawyers and party leaders.

Additionally, the committee called for the immediate release of all detained leaders, including Imran Khan’s sisters Aleema Khanum and Uzma Khanum, Advocate Intizar Hussain Panjotha, Azam Swati, the PTI Balochistan president, and all imprisoned workers and members of parliament.
