Imran calls for end to 'one-party monopoly' in Karachi

KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Sunday called on voters and supporters in Karachi to end what he termed the monopoly of a single political party in the city.

"We have to create history in Karachi. There is monopoly in Karachi of a political party which takes turns in power over and over again. And you can see the condition of the people today," said the PTI leader speaking at a gathering of supporters in Banaras.

"If these people remain in power, the condition of Karachi will also stay the same," he said.

Imran urged citizens of Karachi to come out and vote for the PTI and Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) in the local government elections in the city.

The PTI and JI have reached an understanding to ‘root out their opponent’ the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) in the local bodies' elections in Karachi, scheduled to be held on December 5.

The PTI leader, who arrived in Karachi last night to campaign for the LG polls, is also scheduled to attend a corner meeting at the Kukri Ground in Lyari later today.
