The meeting discussed Imran Khan’s issues and the long march, it was held at Mohsin Naqvi’s request, according to Senate Opposition Leader Raja Nasir Abbas.
ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Sep, 2026) Senate Opposition Leader and Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen chief Allama Raja Nasir Abbas formally confirmed that he had held an important meeting with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi.
Informally speaking to journalists, Raja Nasir Abbas revealed the meeting after a reporter inquired about his interaction with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi during the week. He responded, "Yes, absolutely, we have met."
Raja Nasir Abbas stated that the discussion covered PTI founder Imran Khan’s imprisonment, medicines and facilities, the opposition’s proposed Sept. 27 long march, and other significant political matters. However, he emphasized that the meeting occurred at Mohsin Naqvi’s personal request, and he himself had not initiated the meeting with the government or interior minister.
Addressing a press conference, Allama Raja Nasir Abbas criticized the current system, arguing that both the political and judicial systems had collapsed, with evidence apparent to all. He questioned who was carrying the burden, stating that while Pakistanis suffered under various pressures, they were crushed and making sacrifices in every aspect. He further criticized the ruling style of the authorities, comparing it unfavorably to even ancient kings.
He reminded that they considered themselves Muslims, revered the Quran and Sunnah as supreme, and that according to the Constitution, Allah alone held sovereignty. The Quran, he explained, had forbidden extravagance and wastefulness. Defining extravagance as bringing more lawful food than necessary, he equated it to a disease consuming the economy like termites. He contrasted this with lawful but excessive spending on travel, characterizing it as both extravagant and wasteful—a sin under Islamic teachings.
The Senate Opposition Leader further criticized Punjab chief minister's style of governance, citing examples of expenditure on unnecessary trips amounting to millions. He deemed such actions as forbidden extravagance and major sins, urging educated Pakistanis familiar with the Quran and Sunnah to concur. If it were possible to travel by car but one opted for air travel instead, he concluded, it would still represent unnecessary spending.
