Peshawar — Margalla News: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has said that if an attempt is made to remove him from office, people will take to the streets.
His remarks come amid heightened political tension between the provincial and federal governments and competing claims about the future of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administration.
Geo News separately reported on September 26, citing unnamed sources, that decision-makers now viewed Sohail Afridi's government — not only PTI's long march — as an issue. Geo presented that as a source-based claim rather than an official announcement.
Afridi also offered talks with the federal government the same day, saying that if the government wanted to resolve the dispute within seven days it should do so through dialogue. He also maintained that PTI's planned march would go ahead on October 4.
The chief minister said any move to remove his government would trigger a political response from the public.
The remarks are Afridi's political position. The story can be updated if the federal government or other relevant parties issue a specific response.
