‘Just like in 2018, Karachiites to vote for PTI on February 8’

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Karachi President Khurrum Sher Zaman has claimed that the people of Karachi would vote in favour of PTI candidates in next month’s general elections just like they had in the 2018 polls for the sake of development and progress of their city.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Zaman said that the nomination papers of all the PTI’s former lawmakers from the city have been approved for contesting the upcoming elections. He said that the PTI’s former MNA Alamgir Khan would move the Supreme Court for the acceptance of his nomination papers for contesting the general elections.

Zaman claimed that the PTI had most vociferously voiced concerns to propagate the cause of development, peace and prosperity of the city. He said that the state-of-the-art Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital is being built in the city to treat cancer patients through charitable means.

He also claimed that during its government, the PTI had reserved massive development funds, launched the Green Line bus rapid transit service corridor, and envisioned the K-IV bulk water supply scheme and freight corridor for the city.

He said that the PTI’s government had also imported fire engines for massively upgrading the firefighting capacity of the city. He alleged that the past of other political parties, claiming popularity in the city, is replete with crimes.

He also said that the Sindh government of the Pakistan Peoples Party, which has persisted for 15 years, failed to even build a water supply line for the residence of the party’s chairman at Bilawal House in the city.

He lamented that relief is constantly being extended to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz while obstacles are unduly being created in the way of the PTI to contest the polls on a level playing field.

He claimed that two different sets of laws exist in the country simultaneously. He predicted that the residents of the city would stand united on February 8 to break the shackles of slavery by voting in favour of the PTI.
