Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Aain Agrees to Conditional Talks with Government; Mahmood Achakzai Takes Responsibility to Secure Imran Khan’s Signature on New Charter
**Islamabad (Qudrat Daily):** Pakistan’s Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Aain (TTA) has expressed readiness to engage in dialogue with the government while announcing that Mahmood Khan Achakzai will take responsibility for securing the signature of PTI founder Imran Khan on a new political charter.
The decision came during a key opposition alliance meeting chaired by Mahmood Khan Achakzai following Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s offer for talks. Participants included TTA Vice Chairman Senator Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, BNP-Mengal leader Sajid Tarin, Secretary General Asad Qaiser, Vice Chairman Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, and spokesperson Akhunzada Hussain Yousafzai.
The participants reached a consensus that a new charter is essential to guide the country out of the ongoing political and economic crisis. The opposition expressed readiness to engage in dialogue to ensure transparent elections, the appointment of a mutually agreed-upon new Election Commissioner, parliamentary supremacy, rule of law, human rights protection, and the strengthening of constitutional and democratic values.
Mahmood Khan Achakzai reminded attendees that if all political parties agree on the restoration of the 1973 Constitution and civilian supremacy, he would take responsibility for securing Imran Khan’s signature on the new charter.
The meeting also decided to observe February 8—marking one year since the last general elections—as a “Black Day” across Pakistan and globally, including a strike, with provincial and district-level committees to be formed for mobilization.
The TTA leadership emphasized that the proposed charter and dialogues are aimed at resolving the country’s political and economic crises, restoring law and order, improving governance, and ending public disillusionment. Sub-committees at the provincial and district level will soon be announced to ensure the success of the February 8 Black Day and street mobilization.
