Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has issued a strong warning to Pakistan’s rulers and decision-makers, urging them to “open their eyes” before September 27 and address what he described as growing political and constitutional concerns.
Speaking to reporters during a protest outside the Supreme Court, Afridi said the situation could become increasingly difficult to control if justice, constitutional supremacy and the rule of law were not restored.
The KP chief minister also expressed concern over reports regarding the health of PTI founder Imran Khan. He called for Khan’s family to be allowed to remain present and demanded that his medical treatment be conducted under the supervision of his personal doctors.
Afridi referred to the treatment of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif during Imran Khan’s government, arguing that Khan had allowed Sharif to travel abroad for medical treatment on humanitarian grounds.
He also criticized what he described as politically motivated cases against Imran Khan and his political opponents. However, these allegations represent Afridi’s political position and have not been independently established.
Speaking about Pakistan’s judiciary, Afridi said the country’s justice system was facing a major test. He urged judges to uphold justice and constitutional responsibilities, arguing that even one judge taking a principled position could encourage others to stand for the rule of law.
The KP chief minister also raised concerns about growing frustration among young people. He claimed that he could see a “revolution” in the eyes of the youth and warned that continued injustice and political tension could have serious consequences.
Afridi urged the country’s leadership to understand the seriousness of the situation before September 27 and take steps toward justice, constitutional supremacy and the rule of law.
His remarks come amid continued political tensions surrounding Imran Khan, the PTI and ongoing debates over the judiciary and constitutional governance in Pakistan.
