PTI forms four-member committee for political outreach ahead of Sept 27 protest

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has formed a four-member committee to engage political parties, including the government, ahead of its planned Sept. 27 protest.

The committee comprises Mahmood Khan Achakzai, Asad Qaiser, Allama Raja Nasir Abbas and Barrister Gohar Ali Khan.

The committee has been tasked with reaching out to political parties across the spectrum as part of efforts to broaden consultations ahead of the planned protest.

It will also initiate contacts for convening an All Parties Conference on behalf of the opposition.

The move comes as PTI continues preparations for its Sept. 27 mobilisation. Barrister Gohar has previously said the party intends to proceed with the protest, while opposition parties have also been holding consultations over a joint political strategy.

The opposition alliance Tehreek Tahaffuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan has also been accelerating contacts with political parties and discussing a coordinated political and public outreach strategy ahead of the Sept. 27 protest.
