An interesting exchange took place between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and a Punjab Police official during his visit to Punjab.
According to reports, Chief Minister Sohail Afridi addressed the DSP and other senior officers present from Punjab Police, stating: “Do you people have any other work, or are you only doing this? There is no public vehicle here either, and you are spreading fear under the pretext of security.”
In response, a senior Punjab Police officer asserted, "Sir! We have been deployed here for no other purpose but to protect you."
Sohail Afridi expressed his distrust of the Punjab Police, saying, "Allah Almighty protects me. I do not need security from you people. If my life were in your hands and you had your way, I would not die tomorrow—I would die today."
Media reporters noted that due to heavy deployment of Punjab Police and strict security blockades, local residents and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers were hesitant to approach the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister. However, Sohail Afridi broke through the security cordon, greeting ordinary citizens and inquiring about their well-being.
