“Our rights have been usurped,” said KI President Mir Zaqim Khan. “The provincial government has left us with no option but to protest outside Bani Gala.”
He added, “If Imran Khan accepts our demands and assures action, we will garland him. If he refuses, we will stage a sit-in for an indefinite period.”
Mufti Rehman Taj, a PTI leader from Karak, also joined hands with KI and vowed to accompany the protesters. KI leaders also held a meeting and finalised their plans for the protest.
