In a significant political move, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced plans to conduct public rallies in Swabi and Peshawar. Junaid Akbar, head of PTI's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa unit, has confirmed that the protests are set to take place on February 8, marking the first anniversary of the contentious elections.
These demonstrations, directed by former leader Imran Khan, are intended to serve as a protest against the alleged misrepresentation of election results, which the PTI deems a 'Black Day.' Notably, this follows a breakdown in dialogue with the government over unmet demands for judicial commissions.
As the PTI readies to observe significant public displays, party leader Aliya Hamza has also requested permission for a Lahore rally. With party founder Khan at the helm, the PTI remains resolute in its quest for electoral accountability.
