Achakzai assures Imran will not act against anyone if rule of law is restored

Opposition alliance Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Aain Pakistan leader Mehmood Khan Achakzai has urged all political parties to sign a new social contract to restore the authority of the Constitution, assuring that PTI founder Imran Khan “will not take action against anyone” if constitutional order is maintained.

Addressing a press conference alongside Imran Khan’s sisters, Achakzai said a false impression had been created that “there is a man who is a rebel and needs to be broken”. He said the struggle was not that of one individual but of 250 million people.

“The current government was formed through wealth and strength,” he said, adding that people were humiliated in their homes and the sanctity of privacy was violated, which he called a crime. Calling resistance against an oppressive ruler a “form of Jihad,” Achakzai said they were confident because “Allah is with the oppressed and He will hold everyone accountable.”

The opposition leader further claimed that influential figures had won redress in nearly 9,000 cases and were seeking further concessions. “We raised the standard of resistance,” he said, expressing hope that constitutional order would eventually prevail.

Achakzai urged state institutions to work within their constitutional limits and called on political parties to sign a contract to ensure constitutional order. “I will get the signature of the PTI founder and I assure you that Imran Khan will not act against anyone,” he added.

He reiterated that they had no personal differences with any “general, Sharif or Zardari”. “Our priority is to establish a fair social contract so that Pakistan can function properly. We do not want to become rulers. Just return our Constitution to us,” he concluded.
