He said the party stood by that commitment and every PTI worker should respect it. Afridi urged supporters to avoid taking any step that could create difficulties or undermine the dignity of the judiciary, the hospital, Imran Khan or PTI.
The KP chief minister said Imran Khan’s life and health were important to millions of Pakistanis and that supporters wanted to see the former prime minister healthy. He described Khan as a source of hope for millions and said no action should be taken that could potentially cause him harm.
Afridi called on PTI workers to demonstrate patience and restraint while Imran Khan undergoes medical care. He said supporters should wait for his health to improve rather than gathering around the hospital.
He added that once Imran Khan recovers and comes out, PTI supporters would have the opportunity to stand with him in full force, including through political gatherings and rallies.
For the time being, however, Afridi stressed that supporters should honour the commitment made by the party leadership and stay away from the area surrounding Shifa Hospital.
