“The public knows that fearful rulers make decisions behind closed doors,” says CM Afridi.
According to a statement issued by the K-P Chief Minister’s Secretariat on December 24, Afridi also addressed workers of the Insaf Students Federation (ISF), saying that PTI and its affiliated bodies “ground their politics in resistance”.
He said preparations for a political mobilisation in Lahore had begun under the guidance of PTI founder Imran Khan, and urged youth activists to prioritise discipline and organisation over emotions. Afridi said the success of any street movement depended on a strong organisational structure, directing the ISF to activate student bodies in universities and colleges.
He added that the party’s strength lay at the grassroots level and said organisational work should be completed at the ward, union council and district tiers.
Punjab MPA Rana Arshad said the K-P delegation would be welcomed in the province but must “follow the law”, adding that there was no room for incitement or violence. Chief Minister Sohail Afridi was stopped at a Punjab Police barricade near Chakri while travelling to Lahore to attend the Punjab Assembly session, according to officials from his office.
Speaking at the site, Afridi criticised the barricades, saying that “sealing accommodation and meal areas is a clear sign of fear”. He said Punjab officials were “not elected representatives of the people” and alleged that blocking the movement of public representatives was an attempt to suppress political activity.
