PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Prepares for Street Protest Demanding Imran Khan’s Release

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is gearing up to take to the streets once again, with protests demanding the release of PTI founder Imran Khan and the protection of constitutional rights. The protest will be led by the PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa organization, with the final strategy and plan of action set to be decided by the party’s political committee.

Malik Adeel, the Provincial Information Secretary, spoke to Aaj News, emphasizing that while governance remains the responsibility of the provincial government, the demands of party workers cannot be ignored. The party workers have raised concerns regarding the release of Imran Khan, and Adeel indicated that it was time for the party to take to the streets in response to their demands.

Adeel mentioned that roadblocks and cutting off communication with other parts of the country are under consideration as part of the protest strategy. Additionally, PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa President Junaid Akbar is reportedly organizing party workers in various districts to ensure that the protest is effective and impactful.

The protest, according to Adeel, is not solely focused on Imran Khan’s release, but also aims to safeguard constitutional and democratic rights. A detailed protest schedule is expected to be released soon, with further mobilization in the coming days.
