Overview
- PTI’s parliamentary party submitted a resolution urging authorities to allow KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi to meet imprisoned party founder Imran Khan after repeated denials despite IHC directions.
- Sohail Afridi reiterated that PTI will resist the amendment, calling it an assault on the 18th Amendment’s devolution and linking the pushback to KP’s claimed 19.4% NFC share and over Rs7.5 billion owed.
- Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar said the draft remains under consultation within the coalition, with PPP, MQM-P, ANP and BAP to be taken into confidence before any final text.
- PTI leaders warned they would go to any extent to block the proposal, while a post from Imran Khan’s official X account alleged a collapse of the rule of law.
- The federal government agreed to attend a PTI-called peace jirga in KP on November 12 as Afridi reported a fifth unsuccessful attempt to meet Khan and party workers protested outside the IHC.
