Afridi offers olive branch with a sting
K-P CM warns against imposing governor's rule
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has extended an olive branch to the federal government, proposing dialogue ahead of the party's October 4 long march. Afridi emphasized that his party has always been open to negotiations, despite the recent postponement of a previous protest to October 4. He criticized the government for closing routes into K-P and interfering in provincial affairs, accusing them of labeling PTI as a "wild" and "terrorist" organization.
Afridi reiterated that PTI remains committed to dialogue and would not reject talks with the establishment, including the participation of JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman. He defended the party's preparations for the march, stating that extensive arrangements were complete and that the delay was a political strategy. Afridi warned that if the government's actions continued, PTI might hold the march prematurely.
