Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi is scheduled to arrive in Karachi tomorrow, commencing a significant three-day political visit to Sindh. The core objective of this tour is to formally initiate a street movement in Karachi and Hyderabad, aiming to revitalize political engagement and party activities across the province.
Packed Itinerary for Political Outreach
According to PTI’s Deputy Information Secretary for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ikram Khattak, the chief minister will follow a tightly packed schedule upon his arrival. His agenda is designed for maximum interaction with civil society and political stakeholders. He is expected to visit the Karachi Press Club, where he will hold meetings with lawyers, journalists, and various political figures.
On January 10, a major highlight of the visit will see CM Afridi lead a rally from Karachi to Hyderabad. During this journey, he is planned to address bar associations, press clubs, and other key groups to present the party's vision and gauge public sentiment.
Symbolic Gestures and Key Engagements
The itinerary also includes a visit to the Mazar-e-Quaid, a symbolic gesture paying homage to the nation's founder. Furthermore, the chief minister's schedule features dedicated meetings focused on youth mobilization and multiple media interactions. These are intended to demonstrate and consolidate the party's growing public support within Sindh.
During his tour, Afridi will spearhead street-level activities across multiple districts, directly engaging with the public. A significant political meeting is also on the cards, as he is expected to hold discussions with Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah.
Strengthening the Grassroots Network
Party officials have clarified that the primary intention behind this extensive visit is to strengthen PTI's grassroots network in Sindh. The strategy involves enhancing public outreach through direct engagement and on-ground activism. Following an interaction with the Sindh High Court Bar, Chief Minister Sohail Afridi will return to Peshawar as per the scheduled plan.
This visit marks a concerted effort by the PTI leadership to expand its political footprint beyond its traditional stronghold, signaling a renewed focus on Sindh's political landscape through active campaigning and stakeholder diplomacy.
