A few days after wrapping up a three-day trip to Lahore aimed at launching PTI’s street movement, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi announced on Thursday that he would travel to Karachi on January 9. Announcing the plan on the social media platform X, the chief minister wrote: “Friday, January 9!” followed by “Karachi, Sindh, are you ready?”
Afridi said the purpose of his Karachi visit was to deliver “Imran Khan’s message” and that he would meet “all friends of the party.” He had earlier indicated that Karachi would be his next stop to mobilise party workers. During his Lahore visit, the KP chief minister attempted to address supporters at Liberty Chowk but could not proceed after police sealed off all access roads by setting up checkpoints.
