Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Barrister Gohar Khan said that the party has nothing to do with Chief Minister (CM) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi’s Lahore visit last week. He also said that the incarcerated founder of PTI, Imran Khan, was never against the dialogue with the government.
Barrister Gohar Khan said that Imran Khan instructed the party to make efforts for street movement across the country. On the question about talks with the government, Barrister Gohar confirmed that Imran Khan gave responsibility of talks to senior politicians Mahmood Khan Achakzai and Allama Raja Nasir Abbas.
According to the post on Imran Khan’s X account, “ Mehmood Khan Achakzai and Allama Raja Nasir Abbas are extremely respectable to me. They are pro-democracy and principled individuals. I am surprised that their notification has not yet been issued. I direct Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s parliamentary group to protest this matter before the Speaker and Chairman Senate so that their notification as Leader of the Opposition may be issued. Moreover, for any movement against the existing system, PTI must fully comply with any call issued by Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Ayeen Pakistan. I hereby dissolve the PTI Political Committee. The party’s Secretary-General, Salman Akram Raja, has full authority to constitute a new, concise committee that will devise political strategy and ensure its implementation.”

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has written a letter to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, expressing concerns over what he described as “inappropriate treatment” and excessive security measures during his recent visit to Punjab.
Afridi’s letter details several incidents he says occurred during his provincial visit, which he called “a violation of protocol” and “an affront to the public mandate.”
Concerns over protocol and security
According to Afridi, officials in Punjab displayed “unacceptable behaviour” toward him during his tour. He highlighted that security arrangements were “unnecessary and excessive,” causing disruptions that made it difficult for citizens to access public services.
