He said the rally would prove to be a significant milestone in the movement seeking the PTI founder\u2019s release.<br \/>\nReferring to Chief Minister Sohail Afridi\u2019s address at the gathering, Mr Jan said the announcement of a long march towards Islamabad on Sept 27 reflected the aspirations of party workers. He maintained that the demands presented by the chief minister during the rally were in accordance with the Constitution and the law.<br \/>\nThe minister said providing timely justice to Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi in all pending cases was their constitutional and legal right. He called for the immediate removal of all restrictions imposed on the former prime minister.<br \/>\nMr Jan also demanded that Imran Khan\u2019s family members, lawyers, personal physicians and party leaders be allowed unrestricted access to meet him.<br \/>\nHe said the PTI would pursue all constitutional and legal avenues to ensure such meetings and the provision of basic facilities to the party founder.<br \/>\nThe information minister said PTI workers and supporters, particularly the youth, were fully prepared for the planned Islamabad march. He added that Imran Khan had consistently prioritised young people, which was why they continued to support his political vision.<br \/>\nMr Jan alleged that the federal government had employed \u201cillegal tactics\u201d against the PTI due to political fears of Imran Khan. He claimed that despite what he described as unconstitutional measures, the resolve of the former prime minister and PTI workers remained unchanged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DLP Report PESHAWAR Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Shafi Jan on Friday said the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) public rally held in Peshawar formally launched the party\u2019s campaign for the release of its founder, Imran Khan, describing the event as a demonstration of public confidence in the former prime minister and Chief Minister Sohail Afridi.
