Governor Faisal Karim Kundi of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa warned on Tuesday that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) long march would not be permitted to advance beyond Attock in Punjab, stating that the party lacked the capacity to proceed further. This comes after the opposition party commenced its march despite warnings from the federal government, which vowed to obstruct any gatherings in Islamabad.
The protest seeks the release of PTI founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who was jailed. PTI initiated the march following unsuccessful weekend talks with the federal government, primarily due to disagreements over counterterrorism policy. As of now, Kundi-led convoy aims to reach Khairabad, bordering Punjab, by October 8, where the KP chief minister will announce the subsequent course of action.
