A workers' convention of Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen Pakistan (TTAP) Punjab was hosted by Haqooq-e-Khalq Party in Lahore. The convention was attended by Ammar Ali Jan, Shayan Bashir, Mian Akram Usman, Haider Butt, Azam Niazi, Farooq Tariq, and a large number of political workers.
Speakers Highlight Multiple Crises
Speaking at the convention, the speakers said Pakistan's crisis is constitutional, political, and economic. They said the country cannot be stabilised through political engineering, censorship, repression, or stolen mandates. Real stability can only come through supremacy of the Constitution, rule of law, credible elections, respect for the public mandate, and release of political prisoners.
Economic Hardships Faced by Citizens
The speakers said ordinary citizens are being crushed by inflation, unemployment, and rising costs of electricity, gas, petrol, flour, sugar, and essential items. They said government claims of economic recovery are meaningless when businesses are closing, industries are under pressure, youth are unemployed, and families are unable to manage household budgets.
Demands for Constitutional Rights
The convention demanded restoration of constitutional rights, independent courts, free media, credible elections, an immediate end to political victimisation, and release of all political prisoners. The speakers said Pakistan is a federation and provincial rights, NFC shares, resource distribution, and democratic autonomy are constitutional guarantees, not favours from Islamabad.
Call for Dialogue and Constitutionalism
They said political and economic crises must be resolved through dialogue, constitutionalism, and respect for the people's will, not through force or closed-room decisions. The convention resolved that TTAP Punjab will continue organising workers across districts, tehsils, and union councils to build a peaceful, democratic, and constitutional movement.
