The political climate in Pakistan is currently tense as opposition leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai, chairman of the Pashtukhwa Awami Party, has announced a full-scale protest scheduled for February 8, 2026. According to The Frontier Post, Achakzai expressed his dissatisfaction with the current government, stating that 'the wings of the judiciary have been clipped and the parliament has been practically paralyzed.' He attributes this situation to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party and emphasizes the importance of protecting constitutional rights through both negotiations and protests, which he considers integral to the democratic process. This sentiment is echoed in a negative tone across various media outlets, highlighting the opposition's frustration with the government's actions.
