PTI’s ‘Rights for Karachi’ rally reaches Jail Chowrangi

KARACHI: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf  rally ‘Rights for Karachi’ is marching towards Mazar-e-Quaid here on Sunday.

Chairman Imran Khan is leading the rally along with MNA Asad Umer, Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Imran Ismail and other party leaders.

The the rally has reached Jail Chowrangi where Imran will have to address the participants in very shortly.

The party has established camps at strategic positions of the city and party workers distributed pamphlets and handbills to garner public support. 

Earlier talking with media, PTI leader Asad Umer criticised rulers for not giving Karachi its due rights. He said the PTI chief was standing with the people of Karachi to solve their issues.

Umar said the ones who claimed to be the guardians of the city and also remained in power never solved the city’s issues. “They were only interested in point scoring.”

PTI leader Imran Ismail held the Muttahida Qaumi Movement responsible for ignoring basic issues of the city. 

He said the city had been divided on ethnic and religious basis but the MQM was only busy in gaining its own vested interests.

“The people were divided on political and ethnic grounds by political forces for their own benefits,” he said.

Ismail said he had witnessed Karachi’s downfall at the hands of political parties and the provincial government. He said the Karachi’s investment was moved to Dubai and the metropolis was systematically ruined.
