Opp Alliance declares that it will not attend the meeting of the Parliamentary National Security Committee.

ISLAMABAD (ANews): Opposition alliance parties, including Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM), Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP), and Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M), have declared their intention to abstain from today’s (Tuesday) Parliamentary National Security Committee meeting.

Allama Nasir Abbas (MWM), Sardar Akhtar Mengal (BNP-M), Sahibzada Hamid Raza (SIC), and Mahmood Khan Achakzai (PkMAP) would not be present at the Parliamentary National Security Committee meeting.

However, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) political committee has made it a need to meet with Imran Khan, the party’s founder, in order to attend the Parliamentary National Security Committee session.

The PTI political committee said in a statement that the party leadership ought to be permitted to meet with the former prime minister who is currently jailed. Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur has also been granted permission by the PTI political committee to attend the National Security Committee meeting.

Omar Ayub Khan, the National Assembly’s opposition leader, had earlier demanded in a letter to NA speaker Ayaz Sadiq that he fulfill his responsibility of bringing the party leadership together with Imran Khan.
