PTI’s rally strategy still in flux
K-P CM Afridi skips core committee meeting
During a late-night meeting of the PTI's core and political committee, leaders expressed concerns over the lack of clarity surrounding the planned September 27 Islamabad march. The absence of K-P Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, who was supposed to spearhead the street movement, raised questions about the decision. Afridi later announced a Thursday morning meeting in Islamabad, despite objections from party members who sought a later date to align with Imran Khan’s Supreme Court hearing.
Despite attending the meeting, Afridi and his team were notably absent. PTI leaders questioned Afridi's leadership, as he was the driving force behind the plan, but his absence left many with unanswered questions. They hoped to learn the party's objectives, destination, and contingency plans for the march. The procession was reportedly intended to start from Peshawar, pass through Hazara, and conclude in Islamabad via the CPEC route.
However, the expected turnout was modest, particularly in Punjab due to its political climate. PTI leaders expressed hope for further clarification during Thursday's meeting.
