Mehmood Khan Achakzai, head of the Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Ain-e-Pakistan (TTAP), on Wednesday said that constitutional amendments should not be made behind closed doors through conspiracies, asserting that the constitution is a sacred document, not just a piece of paper.
Speaking to a media delegation in Quetta, he criticised political maneuvers and described Maulana Fazlur Rehman as a weak politician, claiming his political influence was overestimated.
Addressing the country’s economic crisis, Achakzai pointed out that over 30 million Pakistanis still live below the poverty line.
He stressed that solutions lie in democratic stability and the rule of law, calling for electoral reforms to bring true representation to the people.
The Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Ain-e-Pakistan chief further proposed that new elections are the key to addressing the nation’s challenges.
He urged all political parties to agree on shared principles for governance, allowing the public to choose their representatives. He also highlighted that a committee led by Ayaz Sadiq could be instrumental in deciding on electoral reforms to ensure free and fair elections.
