PESHAWAR: Special Assistant to the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information and Public Relations, Shafi Jan, has said that the young Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Muhammad Sohail Afridi, will lead a historic and grand public rally in Hazara Division on Saturday.
In a statement, Shafi Jan said the rally will commence from Hattar Interchange and proceed via GT Road to Mansehra. He added that the Chief Minister will be accorded warm and enthusiastic receptions at Kangra, Sarai Saleh, Shah Maqsood, Lora Chowk, Mandian and Qalandarabad, while public gatherings will be addressed at Pinyan Chowk, Havelian Morr, Fawara Chowk and Mansehra Bazaar. A special reception by the youth is also planned at Chamba Pul.
Shafi Jan said that from Khyber to Karachi, the founding chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, continues to rule the hearts of the people, reflecting the party’s enduring popular support despite adverse circumstances.
He further stated that since the general elections, unannounced restrictions have been imposed on the political activities of PTI across the country. The founding chairman, Imran Khan, along with party leadership and workers, is facing what he termed as unjust imprisonment, while meetings with Imran Khan have remained suspended for months.
He said that the party is also being denied adequate political space for democratic and constitutional activities.
Referring to the street movement, Shafi Jan said that under these conditions, the movement launched under the leadership of Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has emerged as a significant step towards breaking political stagnation. He termed the Hazara rally a continuation of the struggle for public awareness and the protection of democratic rights.
The Special Assistant reiterated that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf will continue its struggle for public rights under the leadership of Imran Khan while remaining within the ambit of the Constitution and law, and will not bow before any form of political coercion.
