KARACHI: With Pakistan’s historic polls just two days away, electioneering has entered the final phase with aspirants trying to cultivate voters’ support to make it to assemblies.
The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) is all set to hold a rally in the metropolis today. All arrangements have been finalized for the public gathering at the city’s Bagh-e-Quaid ground which is expected to begin at 9:00pm.
PTI chief Imran Khan will land in the city at around 3:00pm. He will hold meetings with party leaders and address a gathering of representatives of Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
In a videotaped message earlier, Mr Khan had appealed to the people of Sindh, especially its capital Karachi, to turn up in droves at the election rally.
He said Sindh’s institutions have been badly destroyed and its resources mercilessly plundered.
The PTI chief said 75 per cent population of the province is reeling below poverty line while 87 per cent of Tharparkar’s people are eking out their lives below poverty line.
The province has been turned into ruins and garbage heaps, he said and vowed to present a solution to pull the province out of this quagmire at his rally.
