KP CM Sohail Afridi due in Pindi today

Rawalpindi will witness the arrival of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi on Wednesday, as part of his journey back to Peshawar. The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has arranged for him to mobilise party workers ahead of their planned protest in Islamabad on September 27th. The PTI has set up three camps in key locations within Rawalpindi district for the welcome ceremony.

These include Gujar Khan, Rawat and Khayaban-i-Sir Syed on Karnal Sher Khan Road. Speaking to Dawn, PTI District Rawalpindi President Chaudhry Ameer Afzal Khan confirmed that Afridi would depart from Lahore via the Grand Trunk Road. He will address supporters in Gujranwala, Gujrat, Jhelum and Rawalpindi before continuing his journey back to Peshawar.

Afridi had initially expressed a desire to visit Rawalpindi's The Mall, but the local PTI chapter informed him that construction work at Race Course Park had rendered it inaccessible.
