KP CM says won't leave Sindh without holding Karachi rally as PTI convoy en route to city

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi expressed his determination to hold a protest rally in Karachi, as his convoy traveled from Hyderabad to Sindh. Accompanied by PTI's provincial president Junaid Akbar, the CM has been campaigning for five days in Sindh ahead of the party's nationwide protest on September 27, demanding the release of Imran Khan and his immediate medical treatment in Islamabad.

Afridi insisted he would not leave Sindh without holding a rally in the capital, promising to stay until the goal is achieved.

An altercation with opposition leader Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari's PPP was highlighted, with Afridi accusing the opposition of erecting roadblocks on the route to Karachi. He demanded to know who was responsible for these actions, threatening to remove the police and hold them accountable. The KP CM also criticized Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz for her remarks on security threats from neighboring provinces, accusing her of being biased toward India.

Earlier in the day, Afridi addressed a rally in Hyderabad, where he accused Pakistan's ruling families of Punjab and Sindh of being part of a two-family ruling system and encouraged the youth to rise up for their country. He also demanded an apology from Maryam Nawaz for her recent comments and accused her of being untruthful. PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja emphasized the importance of the September 27 rally as a day of "true freedom" for the people.
