ISLAMABAD\/PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said on Tuesday that the party\u2019s long march would continue and that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi would remain in his post. Earlier today the party\u2019s KP information secretary Shaukat Yusufzai urged him to call off the march over fears the federal government could use it as a pretext to impose emergency rule in the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to reporters, Gohar said the party leadership had received no instructions indicating a change in KP\u2019s leadership. \u201cWe have received no instructions; the united opposition is with us,\u201d he said, adding that Afridi enjoyed the backing of PTI founder Imran Khan. \u201cSohail Afridi will remain chief minister; he has the support of the PTI founder,\u201d Gohar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the march itself, he was unequivocal: \u201cOur long march stands.\u201d He said the party had \u201calways taken the opposition alliance into confidence on the long march, and will continue to do so,\u201d and that PTI kept its allies informed of its plans. \u201cWe have always taken our allies into confidence. Whatever we do, we keep our allies informed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A delegation from Tehreek Tahaffuz-e-Aiin Pakistan (TTAP) visited the Pakistan Peoples Party\u2019s central secretariat and met Syed Nayyar Hussain Bokhari, secretary general of the Pakistan Peoples Parliamentarians, formally inviting PPP to participate in an upcoming All Parties Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The delegation included PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Senator Allama Nasir Abbas, Senator Zeeshan Akhunzada and TTAP spokesperson Akhunzada Hussain Yousafzai. During the meeting, the delegation briefed Bokhari on the objectives of the conference and extended a formal invitation for PPP\u2019s participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bokhari welcomed the delegation and said the invitation would be conveyed to PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, adding that whatever position Bilawal took on the matter would be communicated back to the TTAP delegation. The two sides also discussed the country\u2019s political situation, the supremacy of the Constitution, the stability of democratic institutions and contacts between political parties, among other matters. Bokhari said PPP considered contact and consultation with political parties on constitutional and democratic issues important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PTI\u2019s KP information secretary, Yousafzai, wrote to him warning that the federal government intended to impose emergency rule in the province. In the letter, he said the government could cite a possible attack on Pakistan from Afghanistan as one justification, noting that \u201cAfghan forces are advancing toward Pakistan\u2019s border,\u201d according to anchor Najam Sethi\u2019s remarks on his programme, and could separately place responsibility for a recent rise in terrorism in KP on the provincial government. He wrote that Sohail Afridi was \u201callegedly being portrayed as a facilitator of terrorists,\u201d calling it \u201can extremely dangerous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yousafzai wrote that he believed the federal government had been \u201crattled\u201d by the long march and \u201cis bent on dissolving the provincial government\u201d as a result, with support for terrorism as the underlying allegation, one that he said could carry provisions for \u201ca ban on political activity\u201d or \u201ceven a ban on the party itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He proposed that the party \u201cimmediately postpone the long march in the country\u2019s wider interest\u201d and stand behind \u201cthe slogan of national defence,\u201d while making clear the party\u2019s demands were \u201cgenuine\u201d and not being abandoned. \u201cNo responsible political party makes decisions under pressure,\u201d he wrote, citing Imran Khan\u2019s earlier decision to end a long march upon reaching Islamabad, citing the safety of party workers, as precedent. Yousafzai said PTI faced two paths: to \u201ccollide with the state\u201d and risk both the provincial government and workers\u2019 lives, or to pursue negotiations and \u201cbuild a good narrative\u201d to exit the situation, adding that \u201cour workers are most precious to us\u201d and that the final call rested with Gohar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gohar said the broader opposition alliance, which includes several parties, remained united behind PTI, and that the Pakistan Peoples Party had engaged with the alliance \u201cas the opposition.\u201d He said PTI had \u201cput forward several proposals\u201d to the PPP and expected \u201ca positive response from the PPP within a day or two.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gohar also stated that political parties had \u201can important role\u201d to play in strengthening democracy, and that \u201cthis country\u2019s destiny is strong democracy.\u201d He said \u201cprovincial autonomy should be in accordance with the Constitution,\u201d and pointed to unspecified developments he said were \u201ca cause for concern\u201d that needed to be addressed, adding that efforts were under way toward convening an All Parties Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the economy, he said all political parties needed to work together \u201cto free the public from inflation,\u201d and that certain measures were necessary \u201cfor the country, for security and for political stability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
