PTI leader Sheikh Waqas Akram has demanded an explanation from PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah on whether Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur was approached by the government directly or at someone else's behest regarding the postponement of a PTI rally. Talking in local TV programme, Akram criticized the government's handling of the rally, questioning why the event was hindered despite having completed all arrangements. He alleged that the government’s actions, including the involvement of Rangers and arrests, were attempts to sabotage the rally, suggesting that the decision to postpone was influenced by external pressures. Akram asserted that PTI was prepared for the rally, with 27,000 supporters ready to participate and the venue set. He claimed that Gandapur was contacted by the government or its representatives, including Barrister Aqeel and Atta Tarar, and was given misleading information that led to the rally's postponement.

Further criticizing the government’s transparency, PTI central leader Barrister Gohar Khan accused it of conducting legislative and political activities in secret. He emphasized that PTI would resist any extensions to the current political arrangements. Central leader Ali Muhammad Khan echoed similar concerns, asserting that political stability requires dialogue with political leaders and criticized the government’s handling of issues like cricket and industrial investments. He lamented the state of democracy and stressed the need for peace and order for investment and economic stability. Khan also condemned the postponement of the rally, accusing the government of undermining democracy and disrupting PTI’s political activities.
