Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi draws a 'red line' against attempts to impose Governor's rule and 'backroom decisions'. He asserts that his party, the PTI, is not anti-institutions but pro-people, warning against any unconstitutional moves that go against the public mandate. Afridi addresses supporters during a PTI street movement in Mingora, Swat district, emphasizing his party's resistance to 'backroom decisions' and their commitment to the people's will. He highlights the resistance he faced when nominated for the chief minister post, the organized narratives against him, and the attempts to portray him as a terrorist. Afridi also accuses those plotting to impose Governor's rule, disqualify him, and even target him for assassination. He emphasizes his respect for the armed forces, recalling an incident where he left an official meeting to attend a fallen soldier's funeral. The Chief Minister announces formal documentation of all future communication with the federal government as evidence and plans an 'Afridi Qaumi Jirga' to address public displacement concerns. He also apologizes for recent notifications and expresses support for Murad Saeed, who faced opposition for public causes. The PTI street movement, directed by Imran Khan from jail, will continue with full preparation and strategy, with negotiation and protest responsibilities delegated to Mahmood Achakzai and Allama Nasir Raja.
