Mobile, internet shut down, security tight, PTI long march reaches Kohat, camped in Lachi

 

I am a soldier of Imran Khan, the whole world can neither put a price on me nor scare me, the country is being divided due to wrong policies,

This Test match, after two days, a T20 match will be held, this war is not only for Pashtuns but for the whole of Pakistan, Sohail Afridi addressing the long march

         Kohat: The long march started by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from the southern districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has completed its first destination and is now moving towards the next stages. According to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, the long march of the PTI led by Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has reached Kohat from Karak. As part of security and administrative measures, mobile phone and mobile internet services have been completely suspended in Karak and its surrounding areas. 

         Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi, while addressing the participants of the long march upon reaching Tehsil Lachi of Kohat, said, "I pay tribute to the people of Kohat for the wonderful welcome. The people of Kohat will completely change the weather of Kohat tomorrow. The journey towards Peshawar will start from University Chowk at 3 pm tomorrow." He said, "I am a soldier of Imran Khan. Even if the whole world comes together, it cannot put a price on me. Similarly, the power of the whole world comes together and cannot scare me. We should not tire ourselves. Our struggle is long. The T20 match will start from October 8. Just as Kohat will emerge, Kohat will not give anyone a chance to surpass you. The message is to convey that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa belongs to Imran Khan, it was Imran Khan's and it will remain Imran Khan's.

        Earlier, while addressing the participants of the long march at Jail Chowk while departing from Karak, Sohail Afridi said that thieves and robbers cannot be sincere with the country. There is only one leader of the whole of Pakistan, whose name is Imran Ahmed Khan is a Niazi, Imran Khan is the heartbeat of our hearts, 90 percent of the people want Imran Khan, only Imran Khan can pull the country out of the quagmire and restore the honor and dignity of the institutions. Sohail Afridi said that the soldiers who are martyred and sacrifice for the country are a part of our existence, while I see hatred against this current system throughout the country. From Khyber to Karachi, everyone wants to go to Islamabad. You will have to accept our democratic demands. Only the policy that is in favor of the people will be made in Pakistan. 

      We are rebels against any policy that is not in the interest of the people. Chief Minister Sohail Afridi said that Imran Khan is serving jail time with courage. If he was greedy for power, he would have signed a petition and come out, but he did not bow down. We have to fight the real war of freedom with Imran Khan. He said that Imran Khan and his entire family are sacrificing for the future of us and our children. After the 26th Constitutional Amendment, the courts are waiting for a chit. Imran Khan is waiting for you. You have to decide whether to accept slavery or want real freedom. You have to decide whether to bow down before the powerful or fight the war of freedom. 

     The Chief Minister said He further said that people from all corners of Pakistan should reach Swabi where the future course of action will be given. Terrorism was imposed on us under a plan, once again blood is flowing, we are homeless and businesses are being destroyed, an activist sits on TV and says that I am foolish, if it is foolish to stand with my people, then I will repeat this foolishness. Sohail Afridi said that the country is being divided due to wrong policies, the government of which you are a part has committed corruption worth Rs 5300 billion, if this is wisdom for you, then I curse such wisdom, if love for the country is foolish, then I will repeat this foolishness, those who have been imposed want to create prejudice in the country, the situation has gone beyond their control, those who have been resettled have also gone beyond their control, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government was being forced to be part of the wrong policy. 

    Chief Minister Sohail Afridi said that I am a player of the founding PTI, I have said absolutely not, the decision makers in closed rooms have divided the country But a party has imposed it, the Chief Minister of this party says that I am not in danger from India but from three provinces, Sohail Afridi said that I am seeing hatred against this system in the whole country, from Khyber to Karachi everyone wants to go to Islamabad, our democratic demands will have to be accepted. He said that this is a test match, after two days it will be made a T20 match, this war is not only of Pashtuns but of the whole of Pakistan. We have seen peace only in the three and a half years of the founder PTI, we will call the policy of harassment an absolute no which will not be in favor of the people. 

    Provincial Information Minister Shafi Jan has written on his social media account ‘X’ that on October 5, i.e. today, the convoy will camp at Lachi Ground near Kohat at night. According to the PTI schedule, on Tuesday, October 6, people coming from Kohat, Hangu, Kurram and Orakzai districts will join the convoy, after which the march will move towards Peshawar and spend the night at Matni, 30 kilometers away from Peshawar city. The other day, Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi, while sharing a detailed roadmap of this long march on ‘X’, had said that on October 7, people from different constituencies of Khyber district and Peshawar will welcome them from Badaber at the Kohat Road Bridge and Motorway Toll Plaza and the convoy will spend the night at Charsadda Interchange.

Long march is our right, I will tell everyone not to stop the long march: Chair Man PTI Barrister Gohar

provincial government is not ready to play a role in the war against terrorism, the long march will not be allowed to enter the limits of Islamabad: Rana Sanaullah

         Islamabad: The ongoing talks between the government and the opposition ended without any result, sources said. Members of the negotiation committee left the Speaker's Chamber. After the talks, the government delegation spoke to the media. Advisor to the Prime Minister and a member of the government negotiation delegation, Rana Sanaullah, said that the provincial government is not ready to play a role in the war against terrorism, the provincial government should fulfill its constitutional responsibility regarding terrorism, and the provincial government refused to assure the role of the provincial government against terrorism. Rana Sana clarified that the long march will not be allowed to enter the limits of Islamabad, any kind of chaos will be prevented by the force of law. Government negotiation committee member Sherry Rehman said that we have heard their concerns, the draft was changed 4 times, no compromise can be made on terrorism, they have refused the agreement on the long march and other things.

            On the other hand, Barrister Gohar, who is Allama Chairman PTI and a member of the opposition delegation, said that the negotiation session has ended and a deadlock has been created in the negotiations. The parties did not agree on the need for a session tomorrow. They will exchange some things with each other. If necessary, a session may be held. Chairman PTI Barrister Gohar said that we wanted the negotiations to be successful. Our long march is intact. There will be a long march. No such action should be taken under the guise of a long march that creates tension among the people of the province. The long march is our right. I will tell everyone not to stop the long march. He said that nothing should be called final. Nothing is final in politics. The answer to a long march is not emergency or governor's rule. The parties did not agree on the next stage of negotiations.

The issue of meeting Imran Khan could not be resolved in the talks with the government: Allama Nasir Abbas

           Raja Nasir Abbas, while talking to a private TV news channel, said that the deadlock remains, there were small things but no results could be reached. Allama Raja Nasir Abbas said that the issue of meeting the founder of PTI could not be resolved, there is a deadlock on the issue of access to Khan's personal physician, we tried to reach a conclusion but the deadlock remains. Allama Nasir Abbas also said that he had reservations regarding the National Action Plan on the issue of terrorism, and there were also reservations regarding the operation in the areas where there are IDPs. Allama Nasir Abbas said that after the talks, the government delegation said that at this time we are not in a position to meet Imran Khan, he said that the meeting of sisters and lawyers will start. Barrister Salman Akram Raja said that consensus could not be reached on the basic issues, we thought that we could move forward on which both of us would agree.

 Islamabad: Talks between the federal government and the opposition on the current political situation have been postponed until today. The first round of talks between the government and the opposition began at 12 noon and the second round after Friday prayers, at the end of which the parties agreed to adjourn the talks until today and continue the talks. The talks continued for several hours, after which the parties agreed to meet again at 2 pm today. According to the National Assembly spokesperson, the meeting discussed the country’s political situation and various issues in detail. During this time, members of the government, the PPP and the opposition informed each other of their respective positions, while detailed discussions were held on various issues. According to the statement, the government delegation stressed the need to resolve national issues with the opposition through talks.

After the talks, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar expressed satisfaction over the negotiation process and said that the first day of the talks had passed in a good atmosphere. He said that we have informed each other of our respective positions, and it is hoped that matters will improve. Opposition Leader in the Senate Raja Nasir Abbas also said in response to questions from journalists that during the talks, the government members’ behavior was appropriate. The government delegation presented its point and we presented ours. Negotiations will resume today at 2 pm.

Delegations from the government and the opposition participated in the talks held in the chamber of the Speaker of the National Assembly on Friday, during which members of the PPP were also present. The government’s negotiating delegation was led by Speaker of the National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, while other members included Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry, Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry and Rana Sanaullah. Senators Sherry Rehman, Naveed Qamar and Ijaz Jakhrani participated in the negotiations from the PPP. The opposition’s negotiating team included Leader of the Opposition in the Senate Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, Chairman PTI Barrister Gohar, former Speaker of the National Assembly Asad Qaiser, Aamir Dogar and Salman Akram Raja. During this, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi briefed the government and opposition leaders on the situation and law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

According to sources, during the talks, there was a heated exchange between the PTI and the government team on some issues, however, there was no disruption in the talks between the two sides and the talks continued. According to sources, during the talks in the committee room, bitter words were exchanged between Rana Sanaullah and Raja Nasir Abbas while discussing judicial matters. Raja Nasir Abbas criticized and disappointed the government's measures of not implementing court decisions and banning meetings with the founding chairman. On this occasion, Rana Sanaullah took the position that the courts are doing their job and the government will ensure the implementation of court decisions related to the long march.

The government delegation, while taking a strong stance, made it clear that an attack on Islamabad in the name of protest will never be allowed and threatening to attack the long march or Adiala Jail is not a correct political attitude. Sources say that government members also took the position that not only the government but also the opposition should show flexibility. At this point, Speaker National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq intervened and urged the parties to move matters forward through understanding.

According to sources, PPP members remained mostly silent during the talks. The second round of talks between the government and the opposition began after Friday prayers. During this time, after exchanging recommendations from both sides, the parties were engaged in separate consultations with their respective members. According to sources, opposition leaders remained present in the Speaker’s Chamber and kept their leaders informed about the progress in the talks and the issues under discussion. On the other hand, government members consulted on the demands and recommendations presented by the opposition in the conference room of the Speaker’s Chamber. During the talks, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Advisor to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah also contacted Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and informed him about the progress in the talks.

Before reaching the committee room, reporters asked Speaker National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq whether he was playing a facilitating role in the negotiations and whether any results would be achieved from this process. In response, the Speaker recited the first verse of Surah Fatiha, ‘Alhamdulillah, Rabb al-Alameen’ and said that he was only playing the role of a facilitator and prayed that the negotiations would be successful. Negotiations are the only way to resolve differences of opinion and problems.

Federation and PTI face to face , Political crisis intensifies

Government begins open discussion on constitutional emergency and possibilities of Governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Governor's rule casts shadow over KPK government, October 4 march enters decisive phase, more containers arrive in Islamabad

       

                    The political front heats up in Islamabad and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, federation and PTI come face to face. The political crisis has intensified after the federal government began open discussions on the possibilities of constitutional emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while PTI has announced to continue the October 4 Islamabad long march at all costs. 

                    Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has made it clear that he will lead the march on October 4 and the first phase is scheduled to reach Swabi, while PTI Chairman Barrister Gauhar also confirmed that the call for the march will be maintained and called it a peaceful political activity. On the other hand, there have been calls from within PTI to postpone the march. The party’s provincial information secretary Shaukat Yousafzai has written a letter to the leadership suggesting further postponing the march due to the current security situation and fears of a possible emergency. Meanwhile, the federal government’s statements have become more stringent.

                Federal ministers are calling the law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa the basis for Governor’s rule or other constitutional measures, while PPP Secretary General Nayyar Bukhari has also said that his party will give constitutional suggestions on the issue of Governor’s rule if the federation consults. Security preparations are also underway in Islamabad in view of the possible march on October 4. Containers are present around important places, especially the Red Zone, and a security cordon has been maintained. Thus, the real test will now be on October 4: on the one hand, PTI’s Islamabad march, on the other hand, the federation’s echo of constitutional options against the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, while there are also reports of behind-the-scenes political contacts. 

               However, no final secret agreement or deal has been independently confirmed. One thing is clear in the current situation that by October 4, the political tension between the federation and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has entered a more critical phase. This is breaking news, not analysis; and I have deliberately not made unconfirmed definitive claims like “Governor’s rule is about to be imposed” or “a deal has been struck.” The biggest confirmed news at this time is that the march is ongoing, the Chief Minister has announced its leadership, and an open discussion on constitutional options against KP has begun at the federal level. It is also noteworthy that more than a dozen containers have arrived in Islamabad at this time and are being placed in the red zone in addition to the internal and external routes.

Threats of Gour Narraj cannot move us back from our position, Sohail Afridi

The policy of throwing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa into the fire of terrorism again is unacceptable, the people have been subjected to experiments of a special mind

The state has been informed repeatedly but it has been declared as our propaganda, the sacrifices of the people of the province, police and army have been sacrificed for unrest

   Peshawar: Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi has said that he will not move back from his position due to threats of Gour Narraj or emergency. In a meeting related to law and order, Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi said that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, police and army have made countless sacrifices for the establishment of peace, more than 80,000 people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have sacrificed their lives but the peace achieved after 2 decades of sacrifices has been sacrificed for unrest.

    He said that the federal government was continuously warned until the terrorists left and were resettled. The federal government was repeatedly informed of the threat, but our statements were called propaganda. The current policy of the state was repeatedly said to be wrong. Sohail Afridi further said that the people of the province were made a target for experiments with a specific mindset, and the policy of throwing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa into the fire of terrorism again is unacceptable.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Emergency or Governor's Rule, Debate Begins

     

  Islamabad: Tensions between the federal government and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government have created an uncertain political situation in the province, where the federal government is considering various options including Governor's Rule in the province, while the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has also decided on a counter-strategy. It was reported that the federal government is considering the option of imposing Governor's Rule or Emergency in the province, while the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is also considering the option of dissolving the assembly or changing the Chief Minister. After the postponement of the September 27 protest, various comments are being made in political circles. Due to the worsening law and order situation in the province and the increasing terrorism, the federal government is considering various constitutional measures. The debate regarding Governor's Rule or Emergency has gained momentum.

I will accept the resignation of the Chief Minister if it comes, Governor Faisal Karim Kundi

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi has said that Chief Minister Sohail Afridi is leaving, and Ali Amin Gandapur is coming, we do not know anything about this, however, if the resignation comes from the Chief Minister's House through regular channels, I will accept it. According to the statement issued by the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Governor Faisal Karim Kundi has contacted the federal government and talked to the Prime Minister to call a federal cabinet meeting in Peshawar and demanded that a federal cabinet meeting be called at the Governor's House on law and order, he has met the Chief Minister and has also requested to call a meeting of the App Case Committee in Peshawar. The Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa said that the Tehreek-e-Insaf is not capable of even a long or short march at this time, giving a date on the date does not work. Faisal Karim Kundi said that Sohail Afridi condemned the drone attacks but did not condemn the attack by quadcopters from Afghanistan. He said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has not condemned the attack by quadcopters from Afghanistan in the assembly. No resolution has been brought against the helicopter attacks and why are they silent?

The KP government meets all the constitutional grounds on which Governor's rule can be imposed, Rana Sanaullah

On the other hand, the Prime Minister's Advisor on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah has said that the option of Governor's rule exists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but no decision has been made on it yet. In an interview, Rana Sanaullah said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government meets all the conditions on the basis of which the federal government can constitutionally impose Governor's rule in any province, however, no decision has been made yet, but this decision may be made because the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is not being run according to the constitution and law.

Postponing the long march is a political strategy, Shaukat Yousafzai

Government negotiates on TV channels, PTI is ready if it talks practically, PTI leaders

Peshawar: PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Secretary Shaukat Yousafzai declared postponing the long march a political strategy. In a statement, Shaukat Yousafzai said that the federal government will be forced to kneel, the government negotiates on TV channels, PTI is ready if it talks practically, the federal government will have to come to talks.

 He said that after the 18th Amendment, there can be no interference in the affairs of the provinces, the Police Act is the province's authority, they want the police to be independent, that is why they have enacted legislation. Shaukat Yousafzai said that PTI's demand is that the founder of PTI should be provided treatment in the light of court orders. 

Earlier, YTI leader Shaukat Yousafzai denied the news of ending the long march and said that if the federal government negotiates, some decision regarding the long march will be taken. Maybe, in a conversation with a private TV news channel, Shaukat Yousafzai has not made any decision to end the long march, the PTI's preparations are complete, the long march will be peaceful and government resources will not be used. The PTI leader said that the federal government has violated the court decision by blocking the roads through containers.

Government wants to pin PTI to the wall: Sher Afzal Marwat

Islamabad: Sher Afzal Marwat said that behind-the-scenes negotiations have been going on with PTI for three years, the government wants to pin PTI to the wall, the statements of government ministers are an open challenge.

Talking to a private TV news channel, Sher Afzal Marwat said that the long march has become so long even before it started, the Chief Minister is now talking about negotiations.

He said that PTI is on the back foot and the government is openly playing strokes, PTI’s only fortress is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the authorities and the government are thinking of depriving PTI of the fortress.

Sher Afzal Marwat said that I am not a supporter of Governor’s rule, they will become political martyrs, there is a lot of anger before the removal of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ministers, the imposition of Governor’s rule will increase further hatred.

He said that the correct instructions of the founder are not being conveyed to the party, nothing can be said until the central leadership meets the founder.

Sher Afzal Marwat said that Barrister Gohar Bani is the choice of PTI, the choice of the founder is not accepted in the party, I think his own march will have started before the march.

He said that it is likely that some way will come out to change the government, the founder PTI entrusted the responsibility of the protest to whom he is the wrong number.

Sher Afzal Marwat said that the number of containers the government has installed was not a normal behavior, the government showed panic.

Change in policy against terrorism is very necessary, Sohail Afridi

          

When the policy of resettlement of terrorists was being made, we raised our voice, we knew that we would have to pick up the bodies, CM

         Peshawar: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has termed the terrorism in the province as dangerous for the entire Pakistan and said that a change in policy is very necessary, we cannot pick up more funerals and see more bloodshed.

   Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Afridi said in a video message that I strongly condemn today's cowardly terrorist attack in Dera Ismail Khan, I am deeply saddened by the martyrdom of our youth and citizens in the blast, this is not the first incident, our Pakhtun brothers are being martyred every day in the new wave of terrorism.

He said that when the policy of resettlement of terrorists was being made, we raised our voice, we knew that once again we would have to pick up dead bodies, we oppose decisions made in closed rooms because they harm the whole of Pakistan.

Sohail Afridi said that our soldiers, policemen and civilians are being martyred in the war against terrorism, a policy has been implemented continuously for the last 22 years but sustainable peace has not been established in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, they are repeatedly saying that this policy needs to be changed but our words are not being listened to.

The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is taking every possible step for peace on its own, by making a cut in its development budget in the year 2025-26, it provided Rs 35 billion for the police out of the budget, provided additional resources for the development of modern weapons, equipment and infrastructure to the police, payments have been made to federal institutions but the required equipment and APCs have not yet been provided to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police.

He said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police is fighting a war on the frontline against terrorists, there should be no further delay in providing the required equipment to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police, the police budget has been increased to Rs 191 billion in the fiscal year 2026-27, which is a 103% increase.

He said that our police personnel, army personnel and ordinary citizens are all our own people, Imran Khan and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf have always made it clear that the army is ours, the country is ours, the police is ours and the people are also ours, our criticism is on the policies of these closed rooms that are harming the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Pakistan.

Sohail Afridi said that we cannot hold more funerals and see more bloodshed, a change in policy is very important, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government gave the provincial action plan to the federation and expressed its ability to bring peace in 100 days, but the question is why the provincial action plan is not being implemented.

Referring to the operations carried out against terrorism in the province in the past, he said that despite 22 major and 14,000 minor operations in 22 years, sustainable peace could not be established in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Our martyred soldiers, policemen and citizens are someone's sons, brothers or fathers. Our mothers and sisters are also being targeted by terrorism. How long will this bloodshed continue? Chief Minister Sohail Afridi said that serious decisions will have to be taken in the interest of Pakistan and Pakistanis, serious efforts will have to be made for sustainable peace by reviewing our policies. If the fire of terrorism is not stopped, it will not be limited to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but the whole of Pakistan may be engulfed by it. Sohail Afridi said that the people who have been imposed on Pakistan can establish lasting peace, the irresponsible statements of federal ministers are creating hatred and chaos in the country, the inappropriate talk of federal ministers about the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is regrettable, if a federal minister calls the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa terrorists, it is very worrying.

He said that such statements can lead to dividing Pakistan and increasing hatred between the provinces, the people who have imposed these people should direct their ministers to talk responsibly, sometimes I am going to Bannu to visit my martyrs, sometimes I am going to Kohat, sometimes Dir and sometimes Swat, those who do not go among the people should not teach us about public love.

He said that those who have been campaigning against institutions should not teach us to love institutions, those who attacked the Supreme Court should not teach us to respect institutions, Pakistan is currently facing terrorism and economic difficulties, in such circumstances, the rulers should review their priorities. The Chief Minister said that the youth and workers of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) are conscious, even after May 9, PTI workers are keeping an eye on every provocation, our long march was peaceful, is peaceful and will remain peaceful, on October 4, the people of Pakistan will exercise their right peacefully, peaceful protest is our constitutional and legal right.

We will turn Islamabad into Somnath , Junaid Akbar. If you come as terrorists , not go back, federal ministers

     

It is known that the state will fire bullets, last time we went back with the dead bodies, this will not happen now, PTI leader's address

Juneed Akbar's statement shows the intention of chaos and destruction, threats are not democratic politics, Atta Tarar, Tariq Fazal, Talal Chaudhry

             Mardan, Islamabad: PTI's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa President Junaid Akbar has threatened to turn Islamabad into Somnath. Junaid Akbar, while addressing PTI workers in Mardan, said that we will not go to Islamabad only through one route but will also go through the motorway, we will also descend from the Margalla hills, we will also descend from DI Khan. Junaid Akbar said that last time we were considering the state as our mother but did not know that it could fire bullets, last time we were not in a position to protest, picked up the dead bodies and returned, this time we know that the state will fire bullets. Junaid Akbar said that this time it will not happen that the dead bodies will be lifted and silence will be maintained. If this happens, the dead bodies will be lifted and new people will come. I make you a witness that we will make Islamabad Somnath. In addition, 

           Federal Information Minister Atta Tarar, while reacting to Junaid Akbar's statement, said that his statement shows the intention that they want to create chaos and destruction in the country. In his statement on the social networking website 'X', Atta Tarar said that Junaid Akbar and PTI do not believe in peaceful protests but want to take the path of violence and bloodshed. He said that as a government, it is the responsibility to ensure the protection of the lives, property and livelihood of the people. Furthermore, Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, while reacting to Junaid Akbar's statement, said that Islamabad is not the domain of any political party but the capital of Pakistan and a city representing 250 million Pakistanis. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said that the intention to make Islamabad "Somnath" is not a matter of political parties. Threats are not acceptable. Political disagreement is part of democracy, but threats are not a method of democratic politics. 

         

Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry has said that the PTI's plan is to create anarchy in the state. Junaid Akbar's statement makes it clear what these people want to do. Such groups existed in the past as well, but they do not exist today. The state is responsible for protecting the lives and property of citizens. Comprehensive security arrangements have been made in the context of the protest. Talking to the media in the federal capital, 

          Talal Chaudhry said that the statements made by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf regarding the protest reveal their real plan. Such statements are not made for peaceful protests. He said that if they came as terrorists, they would not go back. Processions were taken out at their homes on May 9, despite this, they were told that nothing was done. Other political parties also protest, but the protests are held within the ambit of the law. The Minister of State said that Junaid Akbar's statement makes it clear what these people want to do. They come armed on November 26, crush the officials. And after that, they claimed to be peaceful. Talal Chaudhry alleged that PTI's plan is to create anarchy in the state, the state will deal with such elements, such groups existed in the past too, which do not exist today, the protection of the lives and property of citizens is the responsibility of the state.

Sources say that Aleema Khan was detained by the Liton Road police and her car is parked at the police station. PTI sources say that Aleema Khan has been shifted to Kot Lakhpat Jail. The police requested the DC and he rejected the order of 3MPO. After Aleema Khan, the police detained Hajra Niazi, daughter of Noreen Niazi and sister of Hassan Niazi, and her husband, but they were released after some time. In view of the call for a long march, the series of arrests and detentions continues in Lahore. Hajra Niazi and her husband were detained by the police near Aleema Khan's house. According to family sources, the police stopped both of them at the checkpoint and checked them, after which they were taken into custody.

        Chairman PTI Barrister Gohar says that Noreen Niazi told him about Aleema Khan’s arrest over the phone, we have always made it clear that our march will be peaceful and political, our aim is to peacefully struggle for our constitutional and political demands. Barrister Gohar says that we do not want any kind of clash or violence, arresting or detaining Aleema Khan is tantamount to inciting violence and tension, we strongly condemn the arrest, this is the first step to worsen the situation, all these steps should be stopped immediately and Aleema Khan should be released immediately, the party will soon give its action plan against such steps.

        In addition, the Movement for the Protection of the Constitution of Pakistan has strongly condemned the arrest of Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan. According to the spokesperson, first Imran Khan was unjustly kept in jail and now the women of his family are also being subjected to political revenge. Taking a housewife is tantamount to crossing all limits of state oppression and political revenge. According to the spokesperson, Aleema Khan never picked up a gun, threw stones at anyone, or created any problem or law and order situation for the people, yet her arrest is clear proof of this. The scope of political revenge has now extended beyond political activists to women in the homes. We condemn this move of the Punjab government in the strongest terms. This action exposes the true face of the Punjab government and the current oppressive system. Responding to political differences through arrests and targeting women instead of arguments, negotiations, and democratic processes is unacceptable under any circumstances. The government should immediately release Aleema Khan, as this practice of targeting women further highlights the weakness of this oppressive system and the severity of its political crisis.

            Opposition Leader in the Senate Allama Raja Nasir Abbas has said that Aleema Khan’s arrest shows that the government is afraid of the September 27 march, which is why it is making arrests. PTI founder Imran Khan's sister Noreen Khan had a telephone conversation with Opposition Leader in the Senate Allama Raja Nasir Abbas. Allama Nasir Abbas said that this government is nervous. The determination of your sisters encourages the workers and the nation. Your and Imran Khan's struggle is a metaphor for resistance against oppression in Pakistan. You are standing with the Constitution of Pakistan and the people while enduring hardships. We condemn the arrest of Aleema Khan and this government is nervous. Her arrest exposes the government's nervousness. The government is afraid of September 27, which is why it is making arrests. Raja Nasir Abbas said that Aleema Khan's arrest is a sign of unconstitutional and illegal tactics. Aleema Khan was not leading any protest. She had left home for her personal work. In the wake of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s planned protest on September 27, PTI sources have claimed that several party leaders have been arrested in Islamabad. 

       According to PTI sources, Mian Muhammad Ghaus, Sanaullah Mastikhel and Senator Saifullah Niazi were detained near Express Chowk after leaving the Parliament Lodges and shifted to an unknown location.
