“Peace is necessary for development and prosperity. We will go to every limit for restoration of peace,” he said.

Sohail Afridi also said PTI founder Imran Khan was suffering imprisonment unjustly for the future of the nation. He said they would take to the streets for their leader’s release and that he would personally lead the march.
