Kundi challenges PTI long march participants to cross Swabi

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi challenged participants of the PTI long march to cross the district of Swabi, which is located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and borders Punjab’s Attock. The opposition party has announced that Swabi will likely be the final destination of the march, which is being carried out to demand the release of PTI founder Imran Khan.

Kundi addressed a press conference in Peshawar, where he questioned whether the protesters would be able to reach Swabi, as their legs and hearts seemed to tremble at the thought. He also criticized senior PTI leaders for being in Islamabad, while others were hiding. Kundi accused the leaders of failing to protect their ministers, MPA, and MNA by not taking action against them. He ended his speech by calling for the resignation of the KP CM and his cabinet on ethical grounds.
