Shaukat Yousafzai, Information Secretary for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has urged the party leadership to postpone the party's scheduled October 4 march. In a letter to PTI Chairman Gohar Ali Khan and senior leaders, Yousafzai cited security concerns and the risk of emergency rule as reasons for the delay.
He warned that the federal government might use certain issues as a pretext to impose emergency rule, with possible justification from an attack from Afghanistan. Yousafzai also alleged that the federal government was attempting to create a narrative that the KP government was not cooperating with the center, potentially leading to the dissolution of the provincial government, accusations of supporting terrorism, or a ban on the party.
He reminded the leadership of Imran Khan's previous action of halting a long march to protect party workers' lives. Yousafzai urged the leadership to consider his concerns and engage in dialogue rather than confrontation. The PTI planned to postpone its previous march from September 27 to October 4. The party is seeking the release of its jailed founder and the restoration of constitutional supremacy.
Gohar Ali Khan rejected the proposal and reaffirmed the October 4 decision, dismissing reports of the PTI considering dissolving the KP Assembly.
