Police scuttle ex-KP CM’s Swabi meeting in crackdown on PTI

SWABI: In an attempt to prevent a meeting organized by PTI workers in the Shewa Adda area of Razaar tehsil, police conducted raids across various locations on Sunday. Former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Sohail Afridi had intended to address the workers at the Shewa Adda venue, but the imposition of governor’s rule and an emergency in the province thwarted his plans.

Despite this, PTI leaders instructed the workers to convene at the Razaar Sports Complex in Shewa Adda. The police crackdown began shortly after the governor’s rule and emergency were put into effect. Patrols were initiated in Shewa Adda and surrounding areas to deter PTI gatherings, with a significant number of officers stationed at Karnal Sher Khan Chowk, the district headquarters, and the Islamabad-Peshawar Motorway.
