KP Chief Minister Afridi Challenges Military Policies and Leads PTI March to IslamabadPreviousNext

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has intensified his opposition to Pakistan's military policies, accusing the establishment of pursuing 'America's dollar wars' at the expense of Pashtun lives. Leading the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's long march towards Islamabad, Afridi challenged the federal government and military, warning they cannot stop the protest. He emphasized that while KP remains loyal to Pakistan, it will resist policies causing further bloodshed and demanded the release and proper treatment of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan amid heightened tensions with the federal government.
