Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Chief Minister Sohail Afridi declared on Saturday that September 27 will be a "firm and non-negotiable" date for the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) long march to Islamabad. Addressing workers in Hangu district, Afridi urged them to prepare for the march and assured they would return victorious. He accused the federal government of ignoring Supreme Court orders on Imran Khan's medical treatment and alleged selective enforcement of laws.
Afridi highlighted the potential participation of four million people in Islamabad, surpassing the previously stated target of two million. The chief minister stressed that the struggle for real freedom aims for equal application of laws to all citizens, rejecting unequal treatment between the powerful and the weak. He called for the courts to uphold justice and restore public confidence in state institutions.
Afridi claimed Imran Khan, who served as Prime Minister from 2018 to 2022, brought peace to the nation and that the country's youth, comprising almost 90% of PTI rally participants, hold the key to the nation's future.
