Friday, the opposition parties called for the immediate release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi and the rights activist, Dr. Mahrang Baloch "military interference" in democratic and judicial affairs. The requests were made in a joint declaration at the end of the APC organized by Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Aain Pakistan (TTAP), from July 31 to August 1 in Islamabad. The place, initially organized elsewhere, was suddenly canceled by the Islamabad administration – a move that the participants condemned as a blow to the constitutional freedoms of the people. The conference was then organized at the residence of the Vice-President of TTAP, Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar. Another key request for the Declaration was the request that Parliament was made confidently concerning a recent meeting between the chief of the army (COAS), Marshal Asim Munnir and President Donald Trump. The opposition noted that international critical developments, including the American-Pakistani trade agreement, were now disclosed by foreign leaders, undermining the diplomatic credibility of Pakistan. Participants expressed serious concerns about the aggravation of the country, the constitutional, political and economic crisis. They noted generalized public alienation with farmers in distress, the middle class experiencing a 58% drop in purchasing power and young people who exceed 30%. The conference condemned what she called fascism and the current political victimization. He rejected the sentences transmitted by what he described as "Kangaroo courts" Against the opposition leaders and the members of the PTI and called on July 31 a dark day of the country’s democratic history. The APC said that fascism, political victimization and sentences have shown "The hybrid regime agenda [is] To eliminate any opposition."
Appealing to a new charter of democracy, the parties said that the Constitution, fundamental rights and the parliamentary system had been seriously compromised. They called for a national consensus on key principles, in particular constitutional supremacy, the rule of law, judicial independence, electoral transparency, the resolution of regional grievances, freedom of the press, the protection of the rights of women and minorities. The alliance rejected all the constitutional amendments which diluted parliamentary authority and demanded the immediate dissolution of the SIFC, qualifying its formation unconstitutional and a violation of the 18th amendment. He also demanded the revocation of a land rental contract granting 4.8 million acres to the Green Initiative Company.
"This alliance and the assisted parties at the conference declare the creation of SIFC against the spirit of the 18th amendment and the constitution and the request that SIFC is dissolved," The declaration read. "The agreement of July 8, 2024 between the presidency and the initiative of Green Pakistan is unconstitutional and must be canceled," The declaration read, demanding "Complete provincial status for Gilgit-Baltistan."
Participants expressed the alarm in relation to corruption and rampant interference in civil and judicial institutions, calling for legal reforms and a truly independent judicial system. They supported six judges from the High Court of Islamabad who had raised concerns concerning judicial interference and demanded the repeal of the 26th constitutional amendment linked to judicial appointments. The declaration rejected the conduct of the general elections of 2024, qualifying them as shame on democracy. He called for a new impartial electoral commission established by the national consensus and the immediate general elections under a configuration of a neutral guardian, which should be exempt from the presumed interference of the intelligence agencies. With regard to Balutchistan, the parties qualified its crisis a national injury and demanded the return of local resources to indigenous peoples, the end of extrajudicial murders and forced disappearances, the dissolution of illegal militias and urgent support at the University of Balochistan. They demanded the release of Dr. Mahrang Baloch and the withdrawal of false trees against the BNP chief, Sardar Akhtar Mengal and his family. On Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and ex-FATA, the conference supported the Pachtun Tahafuz movement, condemned the extrajudicial murders of the CTD, demanded a fair representation to the National Finance Commission, the withdrawal of calls against court decisions on unconstitutional regulations and the production of disappeared persons, including Ali Wazir. The declaration proposed a commission of truth and reconciliation of South Africa style, calling for voluntary admissions of constitutional subversion since 1947. It has criticized the political parties which abandoned their commitment to democratic charters. Any modification of the National Finance Commission or the violations of the 1991 water agreement were described as attacks against federal unit. The Alliance condemned the use of political reprisals and called for mutual respect among political actors. He rejected all forms of media censorship and supported journalists confronted with legal threats or silence. The questions of women’s rights such as honor murders, forced marriages and the refusal of the inheritance have been highlighted, in addition to calls for the protection of minority laws and the prevention of forced conversions. While supporting peaceful relations with all nations, with the exception of Israel, he urged Parliament to refer to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
