KP CM Afridi Advances PTI Push in Sindh, Pledges Karachi Rally Without Written Approval

Officials promise facilitation; written clearance remains pending.

Overview

  • Sohail Afridi arrived in Karachi to lead PTI’s street mobilisation, received by Sindh minister Saeed Ghani before moving in processions to Insaf House and then on to Hyderabad.
  • PTI plans a public gathering at Mazar-e-Quaid/Bagh-e-Jinnah on Sunday at 4:30pm, saying it will proceed despite not yet receiving a formal NOC or written permission.
  • Sindh ministers have publicly assured security and space for lawful political activity, while district authorities say permission awaits security clearance and related formalities.
  • Friday’s processions caused traffic slowdowns on major roads, with police reporting largely peaceful movement and only minor scuffles near the airport and the press club.
  • Afridi used the tour to oppose new operations in KP and decry Imran Khan’s detention; a federal adviser separately warned PTI of legal action if future protests disrupt public order.
