The political climate in Pakistan is tense as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP) have announced a nationwide shutter-down strike on February 8, 2026, to protest the health conditions of the jailed PTI founder, Imran Khan. According to the Pakistan News Network, the leadership has vowed 'no compromise on Imran Khan's health,' urging citizens to participate in the strike. This decision was made during a PTI joint parliamentary committee meeting, with significant figures like Sohail Afridi and TTAP leader Khanakz in attendance, as reported by Dawn. The sentiment across these reports is negative, highlighting the urgency and seriousness of the situation as PTI and TTAP rally support for their cause.
