Sohail Afridi denied meeting Imran Khan at Adiala Jail, calls for nationwide protests
Afridi says workers should remain focused on the party's planned march on September 27
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi was denied entry into Adiala Jail to meet Imran Khan on Thursday. Police had blocked the route and diverted traffic at the Medicine Factory checkpoint on Adiala Road. Afridi, along with several PTI leaders and lawmakers, was unable to proceed to the jail as planned. Afridi questioned the situation at the checkpoint and expressed frustration, stating that if he was not allowed to meet Imran, PTI workers would demonstrate nationwide at 10pm.
He called on the authorities to facilitate a meeting before September 28 to alleviate the growing concerns over Imran Khan's health. Afridi also criticized the treatment of Imran and the PTI since 2022, alleging that the country was being pushed towards destruction due to stubbornness and ego.
