Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said that his dream for naya Pakistan would materialize with the support of Karachi.
“I have a dream of Naya Pakistan and it can’t be realized until people of Karachi play their role,” he told his supporters who gathered on Shara-e-Pakistan as parts of party’s campaign for by-elections of NA-246.
“We are not here to campaign for another seat, we are here to set Karachi free,” he said. “We cannot progress until the real representatives of the people aren’t brought to the platform.”
He said that peace can’t be restored in Karachi until militant wings of political parties aren’t eliminated.
He said Karachi was a city where Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was born. “Sir Agha Khan was born in Karachi and the community has made huge contributions towards Karachi.”
Karachi was the city that made poets and intellectuals, where people came for education, that was professing rapidly. In cricket there was Hanif Mohammad and Javed Miandad with me and they took Pakistan forward.
“My citizens of Karachi, voters of NA246, 1 NA constituency wouldn’t mean much but I’m here because of new Pakistan can’t realized until naya Karachi is formed.”
This politics on ethnicity and on the basis of muhajirs took the community backwards; politics of gun ruined Karachi. My mother’s family was a migrant, they were Pahtoons, my father’s family was Saraik, I am a Lahori, I live in Punjab… Who am I?”
Nabil Gabol spoke of blatant rigging in Karachi but there would be rangers this time inside and outside. Will see how many votes r cast now.
“I want to thank the people of NA246, I want to thank Majlis Wahdat ul Muslimeen (MWM), the Memon community and I want to thank the Ismaili community.”
He said that after judicial commission finishes its finding, elections will be held this year.
“It is the first time in history that an investigation will be made on electoral frauds.”
