The resolution also suggested that democratic forces should work toward a new Charter of Democracy aimed at ensuring free, fair and transparent elections so citizens could elect their representatives without interference. It further demanded that the Peace Jirga declaration be implemented to support durable peace in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Participants expressed concern over what they described as police “brutality” against activists of the Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan in Punjab and challenges reportedly faced by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister during his visit to Sindh. The group said such actions undermined political freedoms and obstructed inter-provincial understanding.
In addition, the parliamentary party paid tribute to Opposition Leader Omar Ayub Khan and members who were de-seated from their positions, stating that their efforts were a continuation of the broader struggle for democratic rights. The group also commended supporters in Lahore and Karachi for sustained political mobilisation.
