I have personally never ever been close to Sohail Afridi. I have been nowhere near govt over the last 2.5 years either, directly or indirectly.
But I raise a voice for CM Afridi, Speaker Babar Swati, President Junaid Akbar; and many others, because they deserve it - because we are all in the same cause IK fights for - and it is only a reflection of the complete absence of the law in Pakistan that these individuals are detained. Remember, the CM, Speaker and Ministers are all part of the state as defined in our constitution.
However, individual voices are not enough. Everyone in the party has a responsibility to speak. And those in particular in positions of power in the govt, those holding office in the party, those close to the CM and Junaid, those thumping their chests a few days ago, hold greater responbility.
In everything that's happening today, the biggest challenge for PTI is not the lawlessness of the state. It is the fact that as a party we have descended into individuals looking out for themselves and speaking to the gallery.
This must change. It must change from the top. And the day it does is the day the tables start to turn.

Congratulations to the 2 teams from Kyrgyzstan & Kazakhstan that reached the summit of Nameless Tower (6,239 m), the world’s greatest near vertical drop in Pakistan’s Karakoram. They climbed the Eternal Flame & Yugoslav Routes, in hard weather and low temperatures.
For extreme adventure Pakistan is it.

Very good response. Regardless of how anyone feels about the Muslim brotherhood, the questioner couldn’t explain the history, beliefs, factions, and activities of the Muslim brotherhood. It’s just brain dead parroting of talking points fed to him in hopes to influence the outcome of the elections. Such is “democracy.”

We are a bayhis and lanati quom. Our homes have been violated right before our eyes. A leader we elected with our votes has been thrown in jail. The party we chose has been banned. The government of the province where PTI held power has been toppled. Yet we act as if all of this is happening to PTI alone. These people are enemies of every single person in this generation. They are plundering our country, right before our eyes and we sit in silence.
We surely deserve this.

🇵🇰 Police reportedly opened fire on supporters of Imran Khan's party in northwest Pakistan, as anger grows over the government seizing control of their home province.
Islamabad took over Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the province Khan's party runs, kicked out its government and arrested its chief minister.
Protesters took to the streets in Bara, a town near the Afghan border, and that's when the shooting reportedly started.
The government says it stepped in because the province failed to stop militant violence, but in Bara, the guns were pointed at protesters.

Aunty,
You're absolutely right about one thing: that the PTI has been in power for 13 years in KP. Besides that, here's a fact check with some context.
Structural gaps between Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa long predate PTI rule.
The 1981 census literacy stood at 16.7% in NWFP versus 27.4% in Punjab; by the 1998 census it was 37.3% versus 47.4%.
Punjab’s larger population, canal-irrigated agriculture from the colonial period, along with it's larger industrial base, have produced higher baseline development for not just decades, but more if you were to include the pre-Partition period -- as Gazetted in two centuries of colonial rule.
Moreover, under the 7th NFC Award (in force since 2010), the divisible pool is allocated primarily by population (82% weight), giving Punjab ~51.74% and KP ~14.62% plus a 1% war-on-terror top-up; absolute transfers therefore favor Punjab regardless of provincial performance.
But you seem to brush over the fact that while you were getting glow ups in London and Jeddah, KP absorbed the principal costs of the post-2001 insurgency and successive military operations. SATP data record 5,883 terrorism-related fatalities in the province in 2009 alone (when you were still raising those lovely children in Mayfair). 2014's Operation Zarb-e-Azb, launched in North Waziristan -- where your father never once went as PM to visit troops -- displaced approximately 930,000 people.
Considering you were probably concentrating on your studies at King Edwards during this period, maybe a reminder is in order. The "threat" that you don't feel from India, rather from KP, thanks to the TTP and its network, grew out of the 1980s Afghan mujahideen infrastructure that Pakistan Army's then Chief, Zia-ul-Haq -- your father's personal mentor and sponsor -- had supported.
As for your father's last dance, well, violence fell sharply after the 2014–2017 operations (to roughly 100–200 annual fatalities by 2017–2019). But Daddy had nothing to do with military planning or ops -- rather, your father was flying out emissaries to talk to the TTP (but in a helicopter, not a Gulfstream, just FYI). It was the Raheels and the Tariq Khans and the Amir Riazes and the Asim Bajwas -- a lot considerably more talented and tolerant than the current one, that was handling the fighting.
Yes, violence did rise again after 2021. But it was after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, compounded by your Daddy's handpicked Chief, Qamar Bajwa, resettling the Taliban back in KP.
As for your allegations about inks to terrorism, here's the best part: senior PTI leaders were repeatedly assassinated by TTP during the peak years.
Look up these names, Auntry:
Israrullah Khan Gandapur: Serving as the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Law Minister for PTI, he was killed on October 16, 2013.
Sardar Ikramullah Khan Gandapur: Following his brother's assassination, Ikramullah won the vacated provincial assembly seat (PK-67) in a by-election and later served as the provincial Agriculture Minister. On July 22, 2018, just three days before the general elections, he was as targeted by a suicide bomber. By the way, this was the same election in which neither you nor Daddy could participate because both of you were convicted for hiding away billions in the Panama Papers case.
Want more? Look up these PTI leaders, Aunty:
Malik Tariq Awan, Peshawari PTI leader -- Killed in 2022 in Peshawar.
Atif Munsif Khan, Abbottabad Tehsil Mayor -- Killed in 2023 along with nine others in an ambush on his vehicle.
Rehan Zaib Khan, PTI Youth Leader -- Killed in broad daylight in 2024 while campaigning for NA-8 in Bajaur for the General Elections that you and Daddy and Chachoo stole.
Shah Khalid, Swabi PTI leader -- gunned down in Swabi just weeks before the stolen 2024 general elections.
Also in the lead up to those elections -- Malik Sameen Khan, North Waziristani PTI leader and elder, targeted and killed by unidentified gunmen in North Watziristan.
Look up these names. And think again about what you accuse the PTI of.
As for the “13 years of incompetence” framing, you omit federal responsibility for external and internal security, the costs of the 2018 FATA merger, and the fact that the steepest decline in KP violence coincided with early PTI provincial government plus large-scale military action.
Yes, Aunty: Terrorism actually dipped under Imran Khan's government. At least till your "Saada Chief" Bajwa didn't let the wolves back in post the US-pullout.
As for recent attack numbers that you love to cite, (PIPS: 111 in 2021 rising to 413 in 2025), remember that you track the post-2021 resurgence rather than a simple linear record of provincial governance.
If you've made it this far Aunty, here's the simplest part.
The KP's hard times didn't start under Imran.
But I can guarantee that they will not improve under you or your Daddy's illegal administration.
خیبر پختونخوا کے بھائیوں اور بہنوں کو تیرہ برس صرف دھرنے،انتشار، گالم گلوچ اور سستے ٹرینڈز ملے۔ آج اگر خیبر پختونخوا گورنر راج اور ایمرجنسی کی باتیں سن رہا ہے تو یہ عوام کا نہیں،تیرہ سالہ نااہلی کا قصور ہے
خیبر پختونخوا کے بھائیوں اور بہنوں سے سوال ہے کہ پنجاب اور خیبر پختونخوا ایک ہی ملک میں ہیں،ایک ہی آئین اور ایک ہی قومی خزانے کے حصہ دار ہیں،پھر ایک صوبے میں ترقی کا سفر اور دوسرے میں تنزلی اور بدامنی کیوں؟ فرق وسائل کا نہیں، نیت اور اہلیت کا ہے۔
اگر پنجاب ستھرا ہو سکتا ہے تو خیبر پختونخوا کیوں نہیں؟ کیونکہ وہاں صفائی نہیں، صرف سیاست ہوئی۔
اگر پنجاب کے ہونہار بچوں کو اسکالرشپ مل سکتی ہے تو خیبر پختونخوا کے بچوں کو کیوں نہیں؟ کیونکہ وہاں ترجیح بچے نہیں، دھرنے تھے۔
اگر پنجاب کی مائیں بے فکر ہیں تو خیبر پختونخوا کی مائیں خوف میں کیوں؟ کیونکہ وہاں توجہ عوام کی حفاظت پر نہیں، اسلام آباد پر چڑھائی پر رہی۔
اگر پنجاب میں گرین الیکٹرو بسیں چل سکتی ہیں تو خیبر پختونخوا میں کیوں نہیں؟ کیونکہ وہاں منصوبے زمین پر نہیں، صرف سوشل میڈیا پر چلے۔
اگر پنجاب کے گاؤں تک پختہ سڑکیں پہنچ سکتی ہیں تو خیبر پختونخوا کی سڑکیں ادھوری کیوں؟ کیونکہ وہاں وعدے ہوئے، کام نہیں۔
اگر پنجاب میں مفت دوا، فیلڈ ہسپتال اور کلینک آن ویلز دہلیز پر ہیں تو خیبر پختونخوا کا مریض بے بس کیوں؟ کیونکہ وہاں عوام کی صحت سے زیادہ اقتدار عزیز رہا۔
"کیوں" کا جواب ایک ہی ہے: تیرہ سالہ انتشار اور نااہلی!
پنجاب نے ثابت کر دیا کہ حکومتیں بڑھکوں سے نہیں، کام، کام اور کام سے چلتی ہیں۔خیبر پختونخوا کو اب انتشار نہیں، خدمت چاہیے۔

Now, as Pakistanis have taken to the streets to protest my father’s release, Asim Munir’s regime imposes emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (my father’s political stronghold).
Having failed to secure Balochistan or Azad Kashmir, Munir once again invokes terrorism to justify another military operation in Pashtun lands. Yet again sacrificing lives in an attempt to cling on to power.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s democratic mandate must be restored. My father, our detained family members, PTI representatives and all political prisoners must be released immediately. The people’s right to peaceful protest must be respected.
Pakistan belongs to its people, not its military.

Replying to @AJEnglish
@AJEnglish This march is about far more than securing Imran Khan’s release from prison. It is a struggle for civilian supremacy, the rule of law, an independent judiciary, and an end to unchecked military operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
KP has endured military operations since 2004, yet the federal government now seeks further escalation without a coherent strategy, meaningful public accountability, or the involvement of the province’s democratically elected government.
Imran Khan’s freedom remains central to this struggle. He is the only leader with the public mandate, political courage, and credibility to steer Pakistan out of its deepening crisis, restore constitutional democracy, and return the military to its rightful place in the barracks.
This is not merely a movement to free one man. It is a movement to free Pakistan from the cycle of political engineering, military overreach, and constitutional subversion.
