Even During Military Operations, Tribal Districts Saw No Such Worst Curfew As Maryam Safdar's Fake Government Imposed In Lahore

(@) Unknown persons were also roaming around in plain clothes, and we know who they are and where they come from, Chief Minister Sohail Afridi said after returning from Lahore. LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Sep, 2026) Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi reached Sialkot after completing his visit to Lahore. According to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Shafi Jan in a post on X, Sohail Afridi thanked the people of Lahore in a message upon his return. He said, "Today, I sincerely thank the people of Lahore for the way they confronted all forms of fascism, oppression and injustice and expressed their love for Imran Khan. I pay tribute to all of you." He said, "The kind of curfew imposed in Lahore today was so severe that even when military operations began in the tribal districts, our tribal districts had not witnessed such a harsh curfew as the one imposed in Lahore today by Maryam Safdar's fake government. Unknown persons were also roaming around in plain clothes. We know who these unknown persons are and where they come from. The way they treated women, children and ordinary citizens in Lahore today is extremely regrettable. However, I am pleased that the people of Lahore have broken the idols of fear. God willing, you must maintain this spirit and passion until 27 September and even after that. This enthusiasm must not diminish under any circumstances. "The people of Lahore also know whom they stand with, while those who imposed the curfew and stopped the people have also realized whom Lahore stands with. But it is difficult to understand whether these people are deceiving themselves or someone else through curfews, crackdowns, violations of the sanctity of homes and similar oppression and injustice. "Previously, I used to say that given the situation in Punjab, if we were told even one day in advance that permission had been granted for a rally, there would be no arrests and no curfew on the roads, we would hold the rally. But considering the situation I am witnessing in Lahore today, if permission were granted for a rally for only three hours, with no arrests and no road closures, so many people would come out in Lahore within just three hours that no one could imagine. This is the freedom that Imran Khan has already given his nation, and driven by this spirit of freedom, the people of Lahore have broken all the chains of fear today. "I once again sincerely thank all the people of Lahore. God willing, today's street movement concludes here in Lahore. After this, God willing, we will move towards the rest of the route. More than 2,000 of our workers have been arrested. Yesterday, at the place where food had been arranged for our guests, look at the conduct of the Punjab Police: they even dismantled the tents and took them away. The Punjab Police also took away the food kept for the guests. "In any case, they have no sense of honour left. The people of Punjab have rejected them. The people of Punjab themselves are fed up with the conduct of the Punjab Police. The Punjab Police should consider where they are taking their own institution. This lava will certainly erupt one day, and when it does, it will engulf all of them. God forbid that day should come. May God grant them some sense before then and may they abandon the path of oppression and injustice. "God willing, the people along the route our convoy will take tomorrow should prepare. God willing, I will meet you there tomorrow."
