Sohail Afridi Islamabad long march mobilization

Overview

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has organized a long march to Islamabad to protest what he describes as “unconstitutional” measures. Initially announced for September 27 with an estimate of two million participants, the projected scale later increased to 4 million people. Afridi has cited the government’s failure to implement a court decision regarding the medical treatment of Imran Khan as a primary driver, alleging a double standard in law enforcement and criticizing the treatment of PTI supporters and Khan’s family.

In early September, Afridi expanded the movement’s reach through a multi-day street mobilization campaign across Sindh, including regions such as Shikarpur, Larkana, and Mirpurkhas. He claimed the enthusiasm for the PTI signals an end to the era of dynastic politics and challenges the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) monopoly in the province.

Following these rallies, Afridi accused the Sindh government of attempting to obstruct his movement toward Karachi by digging trenches, placing containers, and blocking roads. He demanded that the Sindh administration clarify who is responsible for these blockades, stating that the people of Sindh would not accept such treatment of guests. During a convention at the Sindh High Court Bar, Afridi pledged that the PTI and the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would support the people of Sindh in their struggle for constitutional rights and democracy. He continues to call for preparations for the major march scheduled for September 27.
