Sindh govt yet to grant permission for Karachi rally: Imran

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan announced on Thursday that the Sindh government has not yet approved an application submitted earlier by the party in which it sought approval for holding the rally at Mazar-e-Quaid.

Speaking to the media at the Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore, he said if the Sindh government did not allow then the PTI would explore other options, such as legal action, to obtain permission for its public gathering in the metropolis.
Khan also said that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP)-led coalition government might not complete its constitutional term and demanded that a neutral set-up be formed for holding general elections in the country.
He said that the current crisis might not allow the government to complete its legal term. He said that only those governments which have public support have come out successful from crises. Khan criticized the PPP for “seeking support from US” in this regard, adding that it was unfortunate that the current government was taking this route.
He said that a neutral set-up in which no there is no involvement of any political figure, should be constituted soon.
Khan disclosed that many resignations were expected and asked the people of Pakistan to be mentally prepared as they would witness the resignations coming from other politicians.
Imran Khan said that people have had enough of the old political parties which have failed to deliver for the betterment of people and said that they want to see PTI in power.
He said that corruption, inflation, dishonesty, poor law and order situation and bad governance are the setbacks of PPP-led government and PML-N’s government in Punjab. He also said that leaderships of both parties are incompetent to address the basic issues of people. Online
