BILAWAL TO VISIT KARACHI TOMORROW
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari would visit different constituencies of Karachi on July 20 in order to give final touch to the party campaign in the city.
Earlier, the party decided to hold a public gathering at Bagh-e-Jinnah on July 20 and also submitted a letter for acquiring permission from deputy commissioner East from PPP Sindh General Secretary Waqar Mehdi. However, the party said that the approval was rejected by the deputy commissioner East.
Talking to The Nation, Waqar Mehdi said that the party decided to change the plans of holding public gathering at Bagh-e-Jinnah after the district administration refused to allow them to hold the gathering at the venue.
“The PPP chairman is coming to Karachi on July 20 after leading the country wide election campaign and would then visit parts of the city to address the party gatherings,” he said without mentioning the areas due to the security concerns.
Meanwhile, addressing a press conference along with former provincial advisor on law affairs Murtaza Wahab, the PPP Karachi Division President Saeed Ghani said that the PPP’s position in Karachi is convincing and the party hopes to yield better results from the city.
“The constituencies where the party was never voted would also see the party vote bank from these constituencies,” he said.
Ghani said that their message in the city is spreading fast and the MQM-Pakistan’s Gizri unit has announced to join PPP. “I congratulate all of them for joining the caravan of Bilawal Bhutto,” he said adding that they would try to learn positive strategies from former MQM activists to enhance their skills in electoral politics.
