PTI to Hold Rally in Karachi on Sept 6, KP CM Sohail Afridi to Tour SindhKarachi: The PTI on Thursday announced that it would hold a public rally on Shahrah-i-Quaideen in Karachi on Sept 6, while Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi is scheduled to begin a four-day visit to Sindh on Sept 3 along with the party’s central leadership.
Addressing a press conference in Karachi, PTI Sindh President Haleem Adil Sheikh said Afridi and the party’s central leadership would arrive in Sindh on Sept 3. The delegation would receive a major welcome at Kamoon Shaheed at 11am before travelling to different cities across the province, he said.
“The delegation, led by CM Afridi, will travel from Jacobabad to Naushehro Feroze on Sept 4, proceed from Naushehro Feroze to Hyderabad on Sept 5 and reach Karachi on Sept 6,” he announced.
Sheikh added that large gatherings linked to the party’s street movement would also be held in different cities during the tour.
“A major rally will be held on Shahrah-i-Quaideen in Karachi on Sept 6,” Sheikh said, expressing hope that the authorities would grant permission for the event. “Even if permission is not granted, there will be a rally in Karachi,” he asserted.
He said Sept 6 was Defence Day and that the PTI would speak about the defence of Pakistan and the rights of its people.
Speaking at the same press conference, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja said the PTI would also observe Sept 27 as Democracy Day and protest for the release of party founder Imran Khan. He called on the people to continue raising their voices for their rights.
“This is not a battle for one day; it is a question of the future of the entire nation,” he said.
Raja said the country’s poor had expressed themselves through their votes, but their mandate had been “stolen”. He claimed millions of Pakistanis had voted for Imran on Feb 8, 2024, in the hope of determining their future, but their mandate was subsequently denied.
He also claimed that PTI candidates had won 21 of the 22 National Assembly seats in Karachi, while seats won by the party in Lahore and elsewhere had also been “taken away”.
Referring to reports of electoral irregularities, he alleged that the elections were marred by “worst rigging” and that candidates rejected by voters were subsequently imposed on them. – Dawn
