Pakistani Opposition Parties Call for Political System Change
A group of six political parties in Pakistan, called TTAP, are not happy with how the country is being run.
They say the current system, which they call 'hybrid', is not working because it's hurting the constitution and people's rights.
They want all the political groups to get together and create a new set of rules for the country, which would ensure the constitution is followed, everyone is treated fairly, and the courts are independent.
They are also upset about the imprisonment of some leaders and are asking for them to be freed.
The government thinks this group is trying to make the economy worse.
A coalition of six Pakistani opposition parties criticized the 'hybrid' political system.
They demanded a national dialogue to create a new democratic charter.
The alliance highlighted the need for consensus on constitutional supremacy and rule of law.
They condemned the imprisonment of Imran Khan and his wife, demanding their release.
The Information Minister responded, alleging the demands aimed to sabotage the economy.
