PTI to begin march from south KP tomorrow

PESHAWAR - The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has announced that its protest march will commence from the southern districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) on October 4, led by Chief Minister Sohail Afridi. The march from the southern districts will be spearheaded by Provincial President and Member of National Assembly Junaid Akbar Khan.

The routes from Peshawar, Malakand, and Hazara will converge in Swabi, according to PTI Secretary Information Shaukat Yousafzai. Yousafzai emphasized that the scenario would not deter preparations for the march, despite resource shortages. He reiterated that the government-opposition negotiations' success hinges on the government's stance.

Yousafzai highlighted that PTI has been advocating for Imran Khan's release from detention, hospitalization, and expedited proceedings of his cases. He characterized PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan as a mature and conciliatory figure who would guide the party through the negotiations. Yousafzai stated that both sides presented their positions during Friday's talks, and he expressed optimism about the future.

He cautioned against imposing Governor's rule or an emergency, as it would exacerbate the situation. Yousafzai also stated that suggestions to impose Governor's rule or an emergency are being made by non-political individuals in KP. He stressed that if the government seeks to resolve the issues, it should promptly facilitate a meeting with Imran Khan.
