The leadership of Awaam Pakistan — Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Miftah Ismail — will participate in the sit-in announced by the opposition alliance Tehreek-i-Tahafuz-i-Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP) outside Parliament House on Friday. Opposition Leader in the Senate, Allama Raja Abbas Nasir, announced the sit-in on Thursday after the Supreme Court (SC) was informed that PTI founder Imran Khan’s right eye had only 15 per cent vision remaining, prompting a strong response from the party. “The peaceful protest is being staged in response to the alleged deprivation of vision in Imran Khan’s one eye, and the government’s refusal to allow access to his personal doctors and family.” The TTAP further said the decision was made last night in a meeting also attended by Awaam Pakistan’s leadership. “Denying any prisoner timely and appropriate medical care is immoral, inhumane and illegal,” the opposition alliance said, adding that Imran Khan was Pakistan’s former prime minister and the leader of the “country’s largest political party”. “The Awaam Pakistan party will join TTAP’s sit-in outside Parliament immediately after Friday prayers today.” “We firmly believe in the rule of law, the people’s constitutional rights, free and fair elections, and true democracy, and we will always stand with the people in their struggle for these principles,”
