Islamabad: According to The Express Tribune, the Opposition Grand Alliance has said that their conference would go as planned on Thursday, despite a number of challenges, and has accused the government of attempting to thwart it.

Alliance leaders, including Mahmood Khan Achakzai, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Omar Ayub, and others, criticized the government during a news conference after a meeting for reportedly blocking them from reserving a location for the event.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said on Wednesday that the alliance had spent the previous week attempting to reserve a location for the summit. He claims that the national cricket team had to travel through, which is why the original location was first canceled and then a second one.

“Entire cricket is often put on hold for cricket,” he said. According to The Express Tribune, the hotel management stepped in and threatened to close the market if the meeting was held when the alliance attempted to reserve a third location.

Journalists, attorneys, and political leaders attended the gathering, according to Abbasi, despite these obstacles. He emphasized that no provocative statements were made and that the event’s only focus was on the importance of the constitution and the rule of law.

The government’s fear of a straightforward indoor convention was criticized by him. He emphasized, “This is our right,” and said that a government that spends billions on advertising shouldn’t be afraid of one conference.

Another opposition leader, Omar Ayub, clarified that the conference’s objectives were to talk about safeguarding Pakistan’s constitution and its future. He emphasized that everyone who took part was a democratic person who was dedicated to making Pakistan stronger.

Additionally, Ayub said that while the hotel management acknowledged being under pressure, they could not identify the source. According to The Express Tribune, the opposition leaders sought formal proof of this pressure.

He threatened to bring the issue before Pakistan’s Chief Justice if such meddling occurred once again. Ayub also responded to accusations that he brought up Balochistani concerns, saying that if the Balochistani government had authority, it had to act in public to address the difficulties.
