ISLAMABAD – The opposition alliance, Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Ayeen Pakistan (TTAP), on Saturday called for a joint session of Parliament to deliberate on the security situation in Balochistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), and other national security issues.
Opposition Leader in National Assembly Mahmood Khan Achakzai demanded an independent investigation into the recent Ziarat incident and urged the government to take action against officials found responsible.

Meanwhile, Leader of the Opposition in the Senate Allama Raja Nasir Abbas said Pakistan was facing an intensifying political and security crisis.
