Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi launched a membership campaign for the ‘Imran Khan Release Peace Movement’, saying the drive will later be extended to other parts of the country.
“A total of 172 registration camps will be established across the province,” Mr Afridi told a public gathering at the ruling PTI’s provincial secretariat here on the occasion of the launch of the campaign.
The participants included PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, general secretary Salman Akram Raja, KP president Junaib Akbar, Sindh president Haleem Adil Sheikh, Balochistan president Daud Shah Kakar and other central and provincial leaders.
The chief minister announced that a national lawyers’ jirga would be convened at Nishtar Hall, Peshawar, on April 10 followed by similar representative gatherings of farmers, labour groups and other segments of society to broaden the movement’s outreach and consolidate public engagement.
