PTI announces Sept 6 Karachi rally to be led by K-P CM Sohail Afridi

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced that it will hold a public rally on September 6 in Karachi's Shahrah-e-Quaideen, led by Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi. Afridi is currently visiting Sindh as part of a four-day trip beginning on September 3 alongside the party’s central leadership. The rally is scheduled to take place after Afridi arrives in Karachi from Rahim Yar Khan, Kamo Shaheed in Ghotki district, Kashmore district, and Jacobabad.

PTI Sindh President Haleem Adil Sheikh addressed a press conference in Karachi, expressing hope that the authorities would grant permission for the rally to take place. Sheikh also highlighted the tragic incident in Islamabad where 14 newborns died in a fire at PIMS Hospital and a similar incident in Karachi involving 96 children infected with HIV/AIDS due to contaminated syringes.

He criticized the Sindh government for contributing to the spread of AIDS and 60,000 cases of mouth cancer in the province, attributing them to the use of gutka, mainpuri, and drugs. PTI leader Raja discussed the unequal systems in Pakistan, with different standards for the rich and poor, and expressed grief over the situation in public healthcare.
