Khan also commented on the planned PTI march on Islamabad on September 27, expressing confidence in its peaceful nature and expected participation from the JUI-F. He invited other opposition parties to join the protest and called for a "Peace of Pakistan" treaty, ensuring protection of citizens' rights and political stability.

He condemned Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi's recent visit to Sindh, praising the public's enthusiasm for the upcoming protest. Khan expressed sadness over alleged police violence against nursing college students and submitted a list of six party leaders to Adiala jail administration for meetings with Imran Khan.
