Self goal for no good reason whatsoever.
Meanwhile people getting on the bandwagon might wanna read his earlier article where he calls most of the pakistani not suitable to even vote.

Here is an excerpt
//We cannot go on with democracy anymore. Democracy is not working for Pakistan; it never did and it will not for the next 50 years. Let us examine why.

Giving voting rights to an uneducated group of people is like giving a monkey a gun. Very dangerous. Compare this ill-mannered example to the uneducated masses of Pakistan (with all due respect). Should we really be allowing people, who sell their vote on a plate of biryani, to decide the future of a nation? How can we be assured that such people will vote in the right candidates?//

PTI leader Barrister Ali Zafar on Thursday said that no dialogue could be held with the government until it allowed meetings with incarcerated party founder Imran Khan.

He made the remarks while speaking alongside a delegation of the opposition alliance Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP) in Lahore, which is on a three-day visit to the city as part of the opposition’s “street movement” to hold political and social gatherings.

The alliance posted on X that TTAP chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai and Allama Raja Nasir Abbas arrived on Friday at a gathering held at the residence of Advocate Chaudhry Ghulam Abbas, where a large number of journalists, political leaders and PTI workers were present.

Speaking during the gathering, PTI leader Barrister Ali Zafar welcomed the TTAP delegation to Lahore.

He urged the TTAP to use its platform to push for a meeting with Imran, who has not been allowed visitors in recent weeks.

“No talks or dialogue can start until meetings are allowed with Imran,” he said. Zafar assured the TTAP of “full cooperation and support from [PTI’s] leaders and workers in Lahore”.

Mahmood Khan Achakzai, head of Tehreek-e-Tahaffuz-e-Ain Pakistan (TTAP), strongly criticised state conduct, saying that while Pakistan was described as a “fortress of Islam,” Islam itself appeared to have been imprisoned within it.

Addressing the Aiwan-e-Adl gathering in Lahore on Friday, he condemned violence against women and children and denounced the use of live ammunition against protesters at D-Chowk.

He also rebuked police actions, alleging mistreatment of detainees, and questioned claims of Pakistan being an Islamic state under such circumstances.

Speaking about political unity, Achakzai says he has not come to Lahore to abuse other political parties but to stand with the oppressed. He stated that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) enjoyed unprecedented public support, yet its founding leader remains behind bars due to a lack of discipline within the party. Political movements required organisation and discipline to succeed.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has arrived in Karachi on Friday for a three-day visit to Sindh, where he is scheduled to take part in political activities, hold meetings, and attend a rally at Mazar-e-Quaid.

A large number of party workers gathered at the domestic arrivals area to receive him. He has departed the airport and is scheduled to proceed to Insaf House in the form of a rally, followed by a “Meet the Press” interaction at the Karachi Press Club and a visit to Bagh-e-Jinnah.

Senior Sindh Minister Saeed Ghani received the K-P CM upon his arrival in Karachi.
 
Planned itinerary in Sindh

Special Assistant to the Chief Minister for Information Shafi Jan said the visit, undertaken on the party’s direction, was aimed at strengthening the street movement in Sindh.

According to the schedule, Afridi will meet party leaders at Justice House, visit the press club, and hold a meeting with the Sindh chief minister. He is also scheduled to attend a rally at Mazar-e-Quaid and take part in political activities in the South, Malir, and Korangi districts.

Sohail Afridi was expected to visit the Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry during his visit to Karachi; however, the federation has addressed a letter to the K-P CM stating that the meeting "has been postponed due to unavoidable/unforeseen circumstances."

On Saturday, Afridi is scheduled to travel to Hyderabad, where he will address the bar and press club, attend a party convention, and meet local leaders, while also taking part in political activities in Hyderabad and Kotri.

On Sunday, Afridi is expected to meet senior lawyers and traders and take part in political activities in Kemari and the West District, before concluding his visit with the rally at Mazar-e-Quaid and returning to Peshawar on Monday.
 
Turbulent Lahore visit

Afridi’s Sindh visit follows a visit to Lahore during which he was prevented from addressing supporters at Liberty Chowk after police blocked access routes. He later addressed PTI lawmakers at the Punjab Assembly, where confrontations between members of his entourage and security officials were reported.

He was also barred from entering the cantonment area to meet party leaders and from visiting the city’s food street, which had been closed ahead of his arrival. Afridi later went to Zaman Park amid heavy police deployment, while reports emerged of PTI supporters being detained.

On Monday, Afridi lodged a formal complaint with Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz over the treatment he said he received in Lahore. In the letter, he described the Punjab government’s security measures as “extraordinary and excessive” and said they amounted to intimidation rather than cooperation.

You want these repealed so you can throw insults at Prophet of Islam openly? Why can't you do it secretly?
