Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to launch a full-scale anti-government campaign, aimed at securing the release of party founder Imran Khan and mobilizing public support across the country.

According to party sources, a high-level meeting was convened under the leadership of PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa party president Junaid Akbar.

The session was attended by PTI presidents and general secretaries from all four provinces, as well as Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

Moreover, the meeting focused on formulating a detailed strategy for the ongoing movement demanding Imran Khan’s release.

The leaders also reviewed preparations for a larger political campaign against the current government.

Sources confirmed that the authority to announce the official start date of the protest movement has been delegated to the party’s political committee.

However, the committee members are expected to finalize the schedule and make a formal announcement in the coming days.

In addition, PTI plans to hold divisional-level consultative meetings soon to further organize grassroots mobilization and ensure a coordinated effort across all regions.

Earlier, this month, while speaking at a PTI corner meeting in Hangu, Akbar reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to the party’s founding chairman, stating, “No FIRs, no bullets, and no prisons can shake our commitment.”
