Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has stated that following the 26th Constitutional Amendment, there is no longer any hope for the PTI founder from the courts. Addressing a public gathering at Upper Adda Lal Chowk, he emphasized that the political landscape has significantly shifted after the amendment, leaving little expectation of judicial relief.
During his speech, Afridi claimed that supporters of the PTI founder, including people from Azad Kashmir, responded strongly to his call. He criticized the situation in the region, alleging that routes had been blocked and that the treatment of their “guest” did not reflect the traditions of the Kashmiri people.
He further warned that in the upcoming elections, there is a risk of public mandate being undermined once again. According to him, efforts must be made to prevent any such interference and to ensure that people’s votes are respected.
Afridi reiterated that after the 26th Constitutional Amendment, the PTI founder should no longer rely on the courts but instead place trust in the people of Pakistan and Kashmir. He suggested that public support would now play a decisive role in shaping future political outcomes.
The statement reflects ongoing political tensions and concerns regarding electoral transparency and institutional trust. It also highlights the shifting narrative within political circles, where reliance on public mobilization is being emphasized over legal avenues.
Overall, the remarks underline a broader debate about the impact of constitutional changes on the political and judicial framework in Pakistan, as parties prepare for future electoral contests amid heightened uncertainty.
