PTI leaders and workers participated in the demonstration. Addressing the protesters, PTI leader Abdul Razzaq Shinwari, MNA Iqbal Afridi’s focal person Zarabullah alias Haji Baba, Abu Durda Shinwari and others alleged that the federal government was arresting PTI workers, elected representatives and party leaders out of fear of the party’s September 27 protest call.

They said PTI workers would continue their struggle for their constitutional and democratic rights. The protesters said the demonstration was held on the call of PTI Khyber president and MNA Iqbal Afridi.
The speakers demanded the immediate release of arrested party workers and leaders and called for ensuring the supremacy of the Constitution and law in the country.

They raised questions about his arrest and legal proceedings, saying the situation was a matter of concern regarding the country’s political situation and judicial independence.
The speakers called for all decisions in the country to be made in accordance with the Constitution and law, saying PTI would continue to raise its voice for the rights of its workers and leaders.
