KP CM Afridi meets NA, Senate opposition leaders to discuss Sept 27 protest

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister, Sohail Afridi, met with the National Assembly and Senate opposition leaders on Saturday to discuss the upcoming PTI protest planned for September 27. The protest, organized by the Tehreek-i-Tahafuz-i-Ayin-i-Pakistan (TTAP) opposition alliance, aims to demand the release of party founder Imran Khan and promote the supremacy of the Constitution.

The meeting took place after a petition challenging the planned protest was rejected by the Islamabad High Court, which stated that any activity infringing citizens' fundamental rights would be considered a violation of the Constitution. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi warned that the government would prevent any march towards the federal capital, and the administrations of Rawalpindi and Islamabad had begun preparations to counter the protest.
