PTI's Long March for Imran Khan's Release Advances Amid Court Inquiry on Resource Use
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) continues its long march led by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, demanding the release of jailed PTI founder Imran Khan. The march, which began on October 4 from Lakki Marwat, reached Peshawar with large supporter turnout. Meanwhile, the Peshawar High Court has sought Afridi's response to allegations of using government resources, including a helicopter, for the political protest. The PTI calls for Khan's medical check-ups and release of detained supporters amid ongoing legal cases against him.
