'Shut Karachi for a week, they will hold your feet': CM Afridi urges people to join September 27 protest
Says 'thieves' will run away from Sindh and that only Imran will rule as time has come to change province's destiny
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi urged Sindh residents to participate in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) September 27 protest, urging a week-long shutdown of Karachi. Afridi, addressing lawyers at a convention, said Karachi should be closed for a week, comparing it to holding people's feet. The PTI rally in Karachi faced uncertainty after authorities blocked key roads, causing heavy traffic.
Afridi vowed to reach Karachi and launch the movement, vowing not to leave Sindh until his objective was met. He accused "tyrants" of considering themselves above the law and urged people to stand up for themselves and their children. Afridi highlighted PTI founder Imran Khan's high popularity and the possibility of Khan returning to power, but stressed that Imran could not be bought.
Afridi emphasized the need for people to unite, saying, "We have to stand up for ourselves, for our children, for our Pakistan and for the people of Pakistan." He also claimed that people from across Pakistan would join the protest on September 27, predicting that no one would win an election against PTI in Sindh for the next 30 years.
Afridi criticized the two political families, stating that they were "untouchable" and contrasting his own humble background with theirs, saying he was a middle-class man who rose through grassroots political struggle.
