The PTI will form the next government in Sindh, Khan claimed, adding that after Sehwan he was convinced that Sindh is ready for change if free and fair elections are held.
Imran also thanked the people for coming to show support to the PTI despite obstacles.

Meanwhile, DC Jamshoro Farid Mustafa has dismissed Imran Khan claims, saying the officials stopped PTI leaders from bringing armed bodyguards with them. They made it an issue and returned, he added.
“Imran Khan was not stopped to pay respect at the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar,” the DC Jamshoro said and added that Shah Mehmood Qureshi and other senior PTI leaders visited the mausoleum.
