Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi led a convoy from Kohat to Mattani, as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) resumed its protest march to demand the release of jailed party founder and ex-prime minister Imran Khan. Afridi criticised the Centre's counterterrorism policy during his address in Kohat, stating that it had failed to end terrorism and proposing a new policy to establish peace in 100 days.
The PTI had previously planned to reach Islamabad, but the Centre has warned against any protests or gatherings in the capital. Afridi vowed that the march would not be allowed to proceed beyond Attock in Punjab, stating that the party had employed all legal and constitutional means for the fulfillment of its demands.
