KARACHI: Independent candidate Jibran Nasir has congratulated PTI’s Shehzad Qureshi on winning yesterday’s by-election in Sindh Assembly constituency PS-111, Karachi.

“Congratulations to @ShahzadQPTI on winning #PS111. I am proud of my team who worked day and night and refused to bow down to propaganda in name of religion,” Jibran Nasir said in a Twitter statement on Monday.

The human rights activist said that he was grateful to all the 1291 people who had come out and voted for politics of tolerance.

“Our work goes on and we will continue to serve,” he said.
