Sohail Afridi announces PTI long march to Islamabad for Sept 27
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has announced a PTI long march to Islamabad scheduled for September 27. Afridi stated that the mobilization could involve up to 4 million people, a significant increase from previous expectations.
The announcement was made during a PTI street movement address in Hangu. Afridi cited the government’s failure to implement a three-member court bench decision regarding the medical treatment of PTI founder Imran Khan as the primary reason for the march.
Afridi alleged a double standard in the application of the law, claiming that while judicial and agency orders against him are implemented immediately, directions concerning Khan’s health have been ignored. He also raised concerns regarding the treatment of female PTI supporters and the sisters of Imran Khan, alleging they have faced humiliation and coercion. Additionally, the Chief Minister criticized the current economic climate, noting difficulties for farmers and the movement of industrial capital abroad.
