PTI Central Leader Asad Qaiser has declared that the  public meeting on September 27 will be a historic event, laying the foundation for dismantling the "hybrid system" in Pakistan and promoting the supremacy of the constitution, rule of law, and an independent judiciary.  In a statement posted on X, Qaiser highlighted his participation in a workers’ convention in Peshawar alongside Provincial President Junaid Akbar Khan, General Secretary Ali Asghar Khan, Peshawar District President Irfan Saleem, and General Secretary Khursheed Alam.

The convention, organized by MPA Kamran Khan Bangash and MNA Asif Khan as per Form 45, underscored the enduring bond between PTI and its workers in Peshawar.Qaiser praised the unwavering commitment of Peshawar’s workers, stating, "My relationship with the workers of Peshawar is years old. They have never disappointed us and have always played a leading role in every movement under the leadership of Imran Khan."

He expressed confidence that the September 27 meeting would be a turning point, fueled by public enthusiasm witnessed during vigorous campaigns across Peshawar’s markets. "God willing, this meeting will make history," he added. Meanwhile, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan, in an interview with a private TV channel, emphasized the party’s ongoing struggle for justice.

Referencing the sentencing of PTI’s founder on January 17, Gohar noted, "We have knocked on every door for justice, and now, as September 25 has arrived, we continue to seek it. The court is our last hope, and delays in hearings create doubts and distances." He announced that lawyers would soon launch a movement for an independent judiciary, which PTI would fully support.

Speaking at a separate ceremony, Barrister Gohar stressed the critical role of a strong judiciary in safeguarding people’s rights, describing it as an integral part of democracy. "Just as the media is free, the judiciary should also be free," he said, highlighting the historical significance of lawyers’ struggles in upholding constitutional supremacy and the rule of law.

Gohar noted that the judiciary and lawyers are united in their efforts to reform the system, adding that PTI was the only political party to petition for timely elections, despite the Supreme Court’s decision remaining unimplemented. "Several conferences were held in Islamabad, but no results were achieved," he remarked, underscoring the need for continuous efforts to improve the system.
