PTI Launches Fresh Street Movement, Welcomes KP Chief Minister to Lahore

Lahore – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) – Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi was on his way from Peshawar to Lahore, where his party, the PTI, intends to launch a new street campaign today.
The party has also announced that a public event will be held at the city’s Liberty Roundabout today.
According to an update released on the PTI’s official X account at 2:24pm, the KP chief minister had arrived in Bhera, Punjab.
PTI Punjab chief organizer Aliya Hamza Malik had previously stated that CM Afridi, his cabinet colleagues, and members of the provincial parliament would make their first stop in Punjab at Bhera on their way to Lahore.

She had asked ticket-holders and party office-bearers from the Sargodha and Mandi Bahauddin divisions to welcome Afridi at that location.

An update shared by PTI‘s Central Punjab account at 1pm said that CM Afridi’s convoy had reached Chakri at the time after making its way through “blockades by police ”.

Another post on the account said policemen in large numbers had been deployed at the site.

Sharing a video, where PTI supporters were seen engaging with police, the party alleged that law enforcers had tried to block the CM’s convoy from moving forward at Chakri Interchange.

PTI MPAs from Punjab have gathered at the provincial assembly to welcome and meet the KP CM.

The PTI has also alleged that police arrested scores of party leaders and workers late on Thursday night.

“The Punjab government is scared to the extent that police began carrying out raids on Thursday night and picked hundreds of party workers,” stated PTI MPA Farrukh Javed Moon in a video message.

Instead, he said, the Punjab government should act democratically and welcome the KP CM.

Sohail Afridi on Thursday had said that the PTI would launch a street movement in line with the directives of its founder, Imran Khan, with “full force”.

She called it a “historic moment” to turn Lahore’s major boulevard into a march for Khan’s release.
The chief organizer directed all ticket holders, office bearers, workers, and attorneys in the Lahore division to gather at Liberty Roundabout to welcome CM Afridi.
