TTAP rejects PTI claims of no prior notice for 10,000-strong demonstration outside Adiala jail

The TTAP spokesperson has refuted claims of failing to provide prior notice for a planned demonstration outside Adiala jail, an event reportedly intended to involve 10,000 people. This statement comes amid conflicting accounts regarding the organization and communication surrounding the potential gathering.

Earlier, Aleema Khan, sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, stated that National Assembly Opposition Leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai had suggested the possibility of gathering 10,000 individuals outside Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail, where her brother is incarcerated. Khan mentioned that Achakzai had indicated a sit-in could occur between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. if a specific time was provided.

Mahmood Khan Achakzai did not inform us that 10,000 persons had to be gathered; we could have gathered them. Even I could have brought 200 people.

However, PTI Parliamentary Leader in the National Assembly, Shahid Khattak, directly contradicted these assertions. Speaking to the media, Khattak denied that any such arrangement had been finalized or communicated to the party. He stated that Mahmood Khan Achakzai had not informed them about the requirement to gather 10,000 people, adding that even he could have mobilized 200 individuals. Khattak suggested Achakzai should have also informed them.

It had been decided that we will hold a sit-in from 3pm–7pm.
