KARACHI -UNS : Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has pledged that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will stand with the people of Sindh in their struggle for constitutional rights and democracy, even if sacrifices are required.
Addressing a convention at the Sindh High Court Bar, Afridi praised Sindh’s people for what he described as their courage in resisting “fascism” and thanked them for the warm welcome extended to him during his visit.
The KP chief minister criticised the Sindh government, alleging that despite PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari publicly welcoming him, roads were blocked with containers, trenches were dug and PTI workers—including women—were mistreated.
Expressing concern over the condition of roads, Afridi questioned whether the provincial administration was responsive to the everyday problems faced by citizens.
He further alleged that the country’s assemblies did not reflect genuine public mandates. Afridi challenged political leaders claiming to represent Sindh’s rights to resign from their constitutional positions and allow what he called “real democracy” to flourish.
The chief minister also criticised the Punjab government and questioned the judicial system’s implementation of court orders concerning former prime minister Imran Khan.
Referring to Afghanistan, Afridi stressed that Pakistan and Afghanistan share deep cultural and religious ties and should maintain peaceful, cooperative relations.
