Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi led the PTI opposition's long march from Karak to Kohat on Monday night, where the protesters will spend the night before continuing their journey to Peshawar on Tuesday. The opposition protest aims to demand the release of jailed party founder and former prime minister Imran Khan.
Afridi addressed supporters in Kohat, stating that the party's struggle would require endurance and sustained mobilisation, warning against exhausting themselves. The KP CM urged people of Kohat to participate in overwhelming numbers, emphasizing that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa belongs to Imran Khan. Afridi criticized the Centre's counterterrorism policy and past military operations, including drone attacks.
He also recalled remarks made by Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz about terrorism threats to her province and challenged the maturity of others in the face of the terrorism threat. PTI supporters welcomed Afridi at Karak's Jail Chowk, and the convoy plans to spend the night near Mattani before reaching Khairabad on Oct 8, where the next plan of action will be announced.
