On Sunday, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) workers staged a protest in Inayat Kallay Bazaar to voice their discontent with the governor’s rule and emergency imposed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The demonstrators, including party activists Habib Khan and Muhsin Khan, vehemently opposed the federal government’s actions, which they denounced as undemocratic.
They expressed their outrage over the removal of the provincial government and the arrest of key leaders, including the Chief Minister, Sohail Afridi, and the party’s provincial president, Junid Akbar Khan. As the protest unfolded, a police team arrived to disperse the crowd, leading to a confrontation between the protesters and the police.
Despite the police intervention, the protesters vowed to continue their agitation, emphasizing their commitment to their cause and support for PTI founder Imran Khan. In Mohmand district, PTI workers and local residents also held a protest at Mian Mandi Bazaar, with district leaders and party members condemning the federal government’s actions.
Throughout the day, mobile and internet services remained suspended in Bajaur and other parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and police conducted raids to apprehend PTI leaders, who evaded arrest by not being at home.
