PTI cancels Karachi political rally over denial of permission

PTI
  • PTI leader said this decision is made with great disappointment.
  • He said denial of permission without valid reasons raises concerns.
  • He urges caretaker Sindh govt and ECP to reconsider their decisions.

KARACHI: President Pakistan Tehreak  e Insaf (PTI) Khurrum Sher Zaman announces the cancellation of the scheduled rally or Jalsa  November 12, due to the caretaker Sindh Government’s denial of permission and arrests of workers throughout the city.

This decision is made with great disappointment, considering the importance of public engagement in the democratic process.

PTI Karachi remains committed to its democratic values and principles. We respect the need for a secure environment during election campaigns; however, the denial of permission without valid reasons raises concerns about the neutrality of the caretaker Sindh Government and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

The absence of a level playing field for PTI to conduct an effective election campaign ahead of the February 8, 2024 general election is alarming. PTI Karachi questions the fairness and impartiality of the caretaker governments and the ECP, both at the federal and provincial levels, in ensuring a transparent and equitable election process.

Sher Zaman strongly believes that the ongoing election process has devolved into a farce, attributing this perception to the evident bias displayed by both the caretaker governments and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

Moreover, he underscores his trust in the discerning judgment of the Pakistani populace, expressing confidence that they will not tolerate any form of political manipulation or a carefully orchestrated election.

Despite this setback, PTI Karachi reassures its supporters and the public that we remain steadfast in our commitment to democratic values.

PTI Karachi urges the caretaker Sindh Government and the ECP to reconsider their decisions and uphold the democratic principles that form the foundation of our electoral process.
