I face a threat from security itself, not a security threat; Lahore residents will take to the streets again today, and those who think they can stop us are mistaken, says KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi.
LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 15th Sep, 2026)
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Afridi accused the "fake" government and police of not changing their attitude, warning that a strong reaction would follow the KP Assembly session if they didn’t.
He stated that he faced a direct threat from security forces, not a security threat, and that Lahore residents would again take to the streets today. "If they think they can stop us, they are mistaken."
In a video message, Afridi confirmed his presence in Lahore and announced that the street movement would resume at 5 pm, God willing. He noted that, despite not issuing a call for Lahore the previous day, a significant number of residents voluntarily came out onto the roads.
Accusations Against Punjab Police:
Afridi alleged that Punjab Police obstructed their path by erecting barriers, switched off lights along their routes, closed fuel stations, and prevented the provision of fuel to their vehicles. Tents were removed from their place of stay, and workers were arrested upon their arrival.
Focus on Ishtiaq Ahmed’s Killing:
He highlighted the killing of Ishtiaq Ahmed, a devotee of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who was allegedly thrown into a cauldron of hot oil. Afridi accused the media of remaining silent over this brutal killing, emphasizing the importance of journalism in calling out right and truth.
Remembering Arshad Sharif:
Afridi also referenced the killing of Arshad Sharif, a martyr who stood for truth and truthfulness, adding that the nation still holds him in high regard.
Arrests and Police Actions:
He recounted how Punjab Police arrested workers the previous day, placing them in a prison van. Afridi protested on the van, but claimed that no officer showed any shame or decency. He stated that the police later promised to release the workers but failed to do so. He also described an incident where he was allegedly abducted by police, driven around Lahore’s roads for 15 minutes without security, and then dropped midway.
Afridi termed these actions as part of a deliberate plan, posing a significant security risk.
