SEHWAN: Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan on Sunday blamed Asif Zardari for denying him the opportunity to pay respect at Lal Shahbaz Qalandar's shrine after a rally in the city.

PTI Chief was in Sehwan where he addressed a rally taking on Pakistan People's Party government for its failure to serve the people of Sindh.

"The oppression and fascism of Zardari and his cohorts was evident not only in their denying us permission to hold jalsa in the city....... and even more shameful, having doors of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar's shrine closed when we went to pay our respects," Khan tweeted.

PTI leader also added that 'Asif Zardari is fearful of PTI'.

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.
