Peshawar:
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur called the military chief of staff, Marshal Syed Asim Munir, to resolve the question of Pakistan Tehreek-E-insaf (PTI) imprisoned.
“You must solve the problem of Imran Khan. The 250 million people in this country are your army,” he said by addressing a major party gathering in Peshawar on Saturday.
Gandapur described the struggle of the head of the PTI as a “war for true freedom”, urging the judiciary to issue decisions in accordance with the law and the Constitution.
“Maintaining the Constitution is an obligation for everyone in this country. We have raised our voice for the Constitution, and we will continue to do so. The greatest number of human rights violations has occurred here,” he added.
He also underlined the position of PTI during previous tensions with India, noting that “the whole nation was united, and we respected the institutions at the time”.
He reiterated that the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government does not support any military operation, stressing that “operations are not a solution to these problems”.
The rally, held in Ring Road in Peshawar, saw the participation of PTI leaders, notably central personalities Salman Akram Raja, Barrister Gohar, Junaid Akbar, the former president of the National Assembly Asad Qaiser, the spokesperson for the PTI Sheikh Waqas Akram, Usman Dar, among the others.
Provincial PTI President Junaid Akbar, speaking at the event, said KP was previously and was still. “We are going to cut the hands of those who speak against the founder of the PTI. Those who said the name of the founder would not be mentioned-we will drag them. Those who sit on the seats of power, we will explain each drop of blood. I spit on their fir trees,” he said.
“For the chief judge who takes a protocol, we say that we will not fear you anymore. Anyone who is not faithful to Khan, I will make life unbearable for them. Will not become the` `mom chacha ” of this country [self-styled rulers]”He said.
“We will not accept any operation under no circumstances. Bring the body commander who has carried out the negotiations. Our problem is not with the institutions, but with people who must be corrected. Negotiations with terrorists must be held responsible,” he said, concerning the military operation.
Likewise, Salman Akram Raja added that the PTI categorically rejects any military operation. “No operation should take place at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. I met the founder three days ago in prison … He said he would never bow down. Today, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is soaked in blood and Baloutchistan also suffers.”
Former president of NA, Asad Qaiser, said the PTI did not want any operation in the province. “We are tired of wars. We support the improvement of relations with Afghanistan. We hope that Ali Amin will raise this question with the federal government.”
The president of the PTI, the lawyer Gohar, reiterated that the elections of February 8 “were stolen”. “The whole world knows that 200 million people want” the prisoner 804 “. The guarantee of justice has become extremely difficult. We will go to the last kilometer for the liberation of the founder of the PTI. Obtaining justice is our constitutional and state law.”
The rally also witnessed organizational challenges. Young PTI workers would have entered the women’s section, which prompted the police to intervene.
In response, many militant women have left the place before the addresses of central leaders. About 800 police and traffic staff were deployed to maintain security.
The rally caused the partial closure of the ring road and the highway, resulting in traffic disturbances. Many participants, including party leaders, had to walk up to two kilometers to reach the place due to vehicles parked along the highway.
