Mobilisation Drive in Sindh: A Three-Day Campaign Against the 27th Amendment
The opposition alliance, Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP), has announced a public mobilisation drive in Sindh. The campaign is set to commence during the first week of December, originating from Kamo Shaheed in Ghotki and concluding in Karachi. This initiative is part of a broader, nationwide effort against the 27th Constitutional Amendment, according to a press release by SindhNews.com.
Planned Campaign Route
The three-day Sindh campaign will involve several key leaders of the TTAP addressing the public in various cities. According to Syed Zain Shah, vice chairman of the alliance’s Sindh chapter, the rally will move through several cities before culminating in Karachi. He also stated that growing public discontent fueled this initiative, especially amid rising inflation.
Accusations and Concerns
The TTAP has voiced strong concerns about the 27th Amendment, labeling it as an infringement upon the constitution’s supremacy and the rule of law. They also allege that the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is using Section 144 to restrict political gatherings, in an attempt to block any type of movement in Sindh as reported by SindhNews.com.
Adil Sheikh of PTI further criticised the 27th Constitutional Amendment, claiming it undermined the judiciary’s independence. He stated that the government is pushing “anti-people” amendments.
Conclusion
In summary, the TTAP’s mobilisation drive in Sindh aims to rally public support against the 27th Constitutional Amendment. The campaign reflects growing political tensions and accusations of suppressing the rule of law.
