Good governance in every province is crucial, but there are other solutions, too. He urged caution in decision-making and emphasized the importance of consensus.

Khan advocated for fresh elections and a hypothetical "Peace of Pakistan" treaty to protect citizens' rights and ensure political stability.

Khan also addressed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi's recent visit to Sindh, commending the warm public reception. He noted the enthusiasm for the upcoming protest, indicating people desire change.
