The Tehreek-e-Tahaffuz-e-Ain Pakistan (TTAP) on Sunday\u00a0demanded immediate free and fair elections, the release of political prisoners, and proper medical treatment for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan.<\/p>\n

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad alongside PTI leader and former provincial minister Taimur Saleem Jhagra, Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar\u00a0criticised the government\u2019s governance and economic policies, warning that the continuation of what it termed a \u201chybrid regime\u201d would amount to \u201cplaying with the foundations of the country.\u201d\u00a0He added that these demands would not create a crisis but help resolve the ongoing one.<\/p>\n

Khokhar said the \u201cForm 47 government\u201d had adopted a pattern of not holding itself accountable. \u201cThe country cannot continue to function this way. People will grow further alienated, and we will continue to expose their failures and show their true face to the people of Pakistan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a system of governance fails to deliver to the people, fails to provide economic prosperity, fails internationally, and fails to maintain law and order, the people of Pakistan grow weary of it. Continuing in this manner is equivalent to playing with the foundations of the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Condemning terrorism, including incidents at Islamabad\u2019s Masjid Khadija-tul-Kubra and attacks in Balochistan, Khokhar said effective counterterrorism required clarity of thought. Referring to the National Action Plan formed after the APS tragedy, he said it had not been properly implemented.<\/p>\n

He further stressed the importance of political dialogue, saying genuine grievances among the people needed to be addressed, and criticised the government for failing to reach political settlements while lacking clarity in combating militancy.<\/p>\n

Khokhar criticised Pakistan\u2019s reported participation in US\u00a0President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cBoard of Peace,\u201d saying the country joined without debate or consultation. \u201cChina stayed away from that Board of Peace, the United Kingdom stayed away, France stayed away,\u00a0yet we went there to offer praise and present ourselves, and no one knows, no one is aware,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jhagra said foreign direct investment had declined this year compared to last year, with roughly $800 million invested over seven months, while total investment as a percentage of GDP stood at just 13%. He said neither foreign nor local investors were putting money into Pakistan\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

He added that poverty had risen from 22% in 2018-19 to 29% in 2024-25, unemployment was at a 21-year high, and average household income had declined by 10% compared with 2015-16.<\/p>\n

He further criticised the government\u2019s poverty threshold of Rs282 per day as unrealistic, claiming that according to the World Bank benchmark of $4 per day, 130 million Pakistanis were living below the poverty line.<\/p>\n

Jhagra also criticised the Punjab government for purchasing a Gulfstream luxury jet for Rs10 billion, calling it unjustifiable in a country where 130 million people live below the poverty line. He alleged that the government had not answered questions about the jet purchase, extrajudicial killings by the CCD, expenditures by senior officials, or Rs40 billion spent on a firewall.<\/p>\n

He reiterated that in a country where 130 million people live below the poverty line, senior officials had been provided official vehicles worth Rs110m and fuel expenses of Rs700,000 per month.<\/p>\n
