KARACHI (Dunya News) - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has praised the people of Sindh for what he described as their courage in resisting “fascism,” saying his province would stand with them in their struggle for rights and democracy.
Addressing a convention at the Sindh High Court Bar, Afridi said his visit to Sindh was his final engagement and thanked residents for the “love and respect” they had shown him.
He criticised the provincial government, alleging that while PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari welcomed him, roads were blocked with containers, pits were dug and PTI workers, including women, were mistreated.
Apologising to Sindh’s people over the condition of roads, Afridi questioned whether the provincial government was actually responsive to public concerns.
He also alleged that Pakistan’s assemblies had not been formed on genuine public mandates and challenged political leaders claiming to champion Sindh’s rights to resign from their constitutional offices to allow “real democracy” to flourish.

On Afghanistan, he said Pakistan and Afghanistan shared cultural and religious ties and called for peaceful relations.

Calling for political change, he said PTI’s support in Sindh had strengthened and urged lawyers to lead the struggle, asserting that the public would stand behind them.
