ISLAMABAD: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has called off a 16-hour-long sit-in staged on Adiala Road.

He said authorities have still not provided any information regarding the well-being of the jailed PTI founder, Imran Khan.

Talking to reporters at the Gorkhpur checkpoint, CM Afridi said that workers spent the entire night at the protest site.

“We spent the night with the workers here, this was only one night,” adding, “If we have to spend our entire lives here for the PTI founder, we will do that.”

“We have not yet been told anything about the condition of the PTI founder,” he said. The chief minister said that they would not back down from their demands.

“We will not retreat from our protests and sit-ins, ” he asserted.

After the sit-in ended, the chief minister left for Islamabad, where he will arrive at the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House in the capital and is likely to submit a petition in the high court for permission to meet the PTI founder.

After submitting the petition, he will return to Adiala Road.
