CM Gandapur once again would lead the KP delegation
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced a protest at D-Chowk on Oct 4.
The party leadership in Peshawar decided to proceed with the protest at D-Chowk regardless of the circumstances. The decision was made during a meeting of the PTI parliamentary party in Peshawar, chaired by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.
Addressing the meeting, CM Gandapur acknowledged flaws in the planning of their previous protest, which led to an early withdrawal. He highlighted the lack of proper protective equipment, such as masks, for workers and leaders during the tear gas shelling.

This time, Gandapur assured that well-trained workers and essential equipment would lead the procession to avoid similar issues.
"Unlike last time, machinery will be ahead of the convoys, ensuring that blocked roads won't hinder the protest's progress to D-Chowk," he said, cautioning that the protest could last for several days.
The meeting concluded with plans for convoys to depart from Peshawar at 11am and from Swabi in the afternoon on the day of the protest, with CM Gandapur leading the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa delegation once again.
