PESHAWAR: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said Wednesday that the September 27 march would be peaceful and would be held solely as an “Insaf March,” with all the opposition parties invited to participate.
Talking to reporters on the premises of Peshawar High Court, Barrister Gohar said there would neither be disorder nor any use of government resources during the march. He said PTI would demonstrate that it was a peaceful political force. He said the health condition of PTI founder remained a matter of concern and appealed to the chef justice to have the cases involving the party founder fixed for early hearings.
He said the PTI expected Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and the joint opposition to participate in the march.
He said provinces should not be created on an experimental basis and urged caution against rushing into decisions regarding the creation of new provinces.
Regarding security, Barrister Gohar said Pakistan’s stated position was that India and its intelligence agency, RAW, were behind terrorism. “We say that Pakistan’s enemies should not be supported,” he said. He stressed that personal and political statements should be kept separate from the country’s security concerns, saying peace and law and order were of paramount importance.
Barrister Gohar said the appreciation received by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister in Sindh during the recent street movement had boosted the party’s morale and, according to him, it demonstrated that the people wanted to move away from the status quo. He said the people wanted democratic change in which the rights of all citizens were protected and called for fresh elections. Gohar added that the public had grown tired of political tension and polarisation.
