ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Former PML-N leaders Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Miftah Ismail have announced to participate in the sit-in planned by the opposition alliance Tehreek-i-Tahafuz-i-Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP) outside Parliament House on Friday.
Khaqan Abbasi and Miftah, who have launched their own Awaam Pakistan party, took to social media platform X, former Twitter, to announce their participation in the sit-in after Friday prayers.
“The leadership of Awam Pakistan — Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Miftah Ismail — has decided that Awam Pakistan will participate fully in the sit-in organized by the Tehreek-e-Tahafuz-e-Aaeen Pakistan (TTAP). This peaceful sit-in is reportedly being held in response to former Prime Minister Imran Khan being deprived of sight in one eye and the government allegedly denying access to his personal doctors and family. The decision was made last night by TTAP in a meeting attended by the leadership of Awam Pakistan,” read the post on X.
“Denying any prisoner timely and proper medical care is unethical, inhumane, and illegal. Imran Khan is not only a former Prime Minister of Pakistan but also the leader of the country’s largest political party.
“Awam Pakistan will join the TTAP sit-in outside the Parliament immediately after Friday prayers today.
“We firmly believe in the rule of law, the constitutional rights of the people, free and fair elections, and genuine democracy — and we will always stand with the people in their struggle for these principles,” their message said.

The PTI’s leaders in the Senate and National Assembly, Allama Raja Abbas Nasir and Mehmood Achakzai, on Thursday announced sit-in after the Supreme Court was informed that PTI founder Imran Khan’s right eye had only 15 per cent vision remaining, prompting a strong response from the party.
“The peaceful protest is being staged in response to the alleged deprivation of vision in Imran Khan’s one eye, and the government’s refusal to allow access to his personal doctors and family.”
Dr Zafar Mirza, central spokesperson of Awaam Pakistan party, in a post on X, said, “Imran Khan’s eyesight is at risk without urgent medical treatment! Awaam Pakistan is part of the peaceful protest of Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan and will stay until he receives the medical care he legally deserves.”
