ISLAMABAD: Bringing peace to Karachi is what Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif aims for, according to Information and Broadcasting Minister Senator Pervaiz Rashid, while PTI chief Imran Khan’s efforts in Karachi are directed at gaining a seat, according to local media sources.
The minister stated that Imran Khan’s movement and activities in Karachi had become possible only after the government succeeded in taking culprits under custody.
“Had the prime minister not initiated the process to once again turn Karachi into the city of lights, it would not have been possible for Imran to organise a gathering there without the MQM’s NOC,” the minister added.
He said that the PML-N does not believe in doing politics of securing National Assembly constituencies in Karachi, rather it was doing politics of service and doing its best to make Karachi a peaceful city.
