Sohail Afridi vows to lead march for PTI Imran Khan release

Sohail Afridi, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister, plans to personally lead a march demanding the release of PTI founder Imran Khan, according to reports by ARY News. Afridi made the announcement during a visit to Bannu, where he addressed workers about the preparations for the September 27 march. He emphasized that this march would change the country's destiny and history.

Afridi stated that peace had prevailed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa until 2022, but the situation since then has been alarming. He accused the current government of destroying peace and noted that the province has been used as an experimental ground for two decades, with its people treated as insignificant. Afridi expressed sadness over the thousands of lives sacrificed for peace in the region and vowed to oppose any decisions against the province and its people.

He affirmed that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police force was committed to restoring peace and protecting citizens, and the provincial government is fully supporting the police. Afridi highlighted that billions of rupees are being invested in improving police infrastructure, equipping officers with modern tools, and enhancing their training.

He strongly criticized the imprisonment of Imran Khan, stating that the PTI leader is being unjustly imprisoned for the nation's future. Afridi vowed to take to the streets alongside his supporters to demand Khan's release, adding that he himself would lead the march.
