PESHAWAR(The COW News Digital) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan has expressed hope that Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) and other opposition parties will participate in the party’s planned September 27 march, describing the event as a peaceful “Justice March.”
Speaking to the media at the Peshawar High Court, Gohar said PTI had invited all opposition parties to join the march. He stressed that the demonstration would remain peaceful and that no government resources would be used for the event.
Gohar said the September 27 march would not be organised merely as a show of political strength. Instead, he described it as part of PTI’s efforts to pursue what it considers democratic and constitutional rights.
“We expect Maulana Fazlur Rehman and the entire joint opposition to join us in the September 27 march,” Gohar said, while reiterating that the protest would remain peaceful and free of disorder.
The PTI chairman also addressed the ongoing debate over the creation of new provinces in Pakistan. He argued that provinces should not be created on an experimental basis or through hasty decisions, warning that poorly considered changes could weaken the federation.
Gohar criticised Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz over her recent remarks concerning the formation of new provinces. He said PTI’s core and political committees had discussed the issue and demanded that the chief minister withdraw her comments.
He further said political differences and personal statements should not take precedence over national security and peace. According to Gohar, maintaining law and order should remain the country’s foremost priority.
Referring to PTI’s political activities outside Punjab, Gohar said the response received by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister during a street movement in Sindh had encouraged the party. He claimed the public response indicated growing dissatisfaction with the existing political system.
Gohar also called for democratic change through new elections and said all stakeholders should be part of a broader political settlement. Drawing an analogy with the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, he described the idea as a “Peace for Pakistan” arrangement in which the rights of all sides would be protected.
He maintained that Pakistan’s political tensions and divisions had left the public frustrated and urged stakeholders to pursue a path that protects democratic rights while preserving national unity.
