President of Pakistan Tehreek-E-insaf Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Junaid Akbar, said the party was determined to hold the largest political rally in the province on September 27 in Peshawar.
Addressing the media after a key meeting with PTI legislators and office carriers in the Peshawar region, Akbar admitted that the party had not been able to mobilize crowds as effectively in recent as desired.
However, he argued that PTI’s popularity graphic increased regularly and that a transparent general election would open the way to the return of the ruling party.
“Yes, we may not always be able to get people out of their house, but the party has become stronger, and its graph is constantly increasing,” he added.
Akbar also noted that PTI was not a “guerrilla force”, but a political party which continues to attract new supporters. This rally takes place at the call of our founding president. Each party member plays his role in making it a historic event, “he said.
“Some people say that the gatherings make no difference, but they do it. The world looks at, and through this show of force, we will send a clear message to the government and its donors that people stand with PTI, as we did on February 8.”
During the meeting, PTI legislators provided the provincial president of maximum participation to ensure the success of the rally. Local leaders have stressed that if supporters of the country would assist, it would be the people of Peshawar who would make the event a success.
Later, Akbar, accompanied by senior party leaders, visited the Qissa Khwani bazaar to launch a campaign for the rally and invited merchants to participate.
