Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has unveiled its strategy for the upcoming rally scheduled for September 8 in Islamabad. The party's leadership, under the guidance of Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur, convened a consultative meeting to finalize the arrangements. During this meeting, all party members were instructed to mobilize at least 1,000 people each for the rally. PTI has assured that it will cover travel expenses for participants and emphasized the necessity of holding the event regardless of any potential challenges. The rally, which had faced potential obstacles, is now confirmed to proceed. PTI members from both the National and Provincial Assemblies are expected to lead the caravans to the rally site. In a related development, PTI spokesperson Rauf Hassan revealed that recent negotiations with Muqtadara (the establishment) have shown promising progress.

He noted that the originally scheduled August 22 meeting had been postponed due to an intervention from the establishment, which sought to avoid clashes during a period of heightened tension involving religious parties and ongoing Supreme Court proceedings. The postponement facilitated the granting of the No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the September 8 rally. Hassan highlighted that PTI is working to enhance the breakthrough with Muqtadara and is committed to initiating comprehensive dialogues to address the country’s issues. However, PTI remains firm in its stance of not engaging in negotiations with political parties such as PML-N, MQM, and PPP. Instead, PTI has authorized Mehmood Achakzai to engage with these parties and present a proposal for potential collaboration. Once Achakzai submits his proposal, PTI will deliberate on the next steps. This strategic preparation reflects PTI’s determination to maintain its political momentum while navigating the complex landscape of Pakistani politics.
