Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi arrived in Hyderabad on Sunday determined to hold his planned rally in Karachi. PTI’s provincial President Junaid Akbar accompanied him. They are on a five-day public mobilisation campaign in Sindh ahead of their nationwide protest on September 27 to release Imran Khan and demand his immediate medical treatment.
PTI confirmed their central leadership convoy had entered Hyderabad by 5:30pm. Afridi had earlier addressed PTI workers in Tando Allahyar, thanking PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari for welcoming him. However, Afridi alleged hurdles were being placed in the convoy's path, claiming containers were being placed and craters dug.
"Is this being done by your [PPP] government or by someone else?" he asked. Afridi urged party supporters to join the planned September 27 rallies. PTI Sindh President Haleem Adil Sheikh shared a video of a truck blocking their route in Tando Allahyar, later claiming people welcomed the convoy in Hyderabad. The PTI condemned the alleged obstacles and claimed workers were arrested in multiple Sindh cities.
They accused the PPP government of political hypocrisy and fear, demanding the immediate release of arrested workers and an end to obstruction of political activities.
