KARACHI: Deputy Commissioner South on Tuesday sent a show-cause notice to Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari over his Lyari visit.
According to the notice, Bilawal Bhutto breached Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) code of conduct as the rally was carried out without getting NOC from Deputy Commissioner.
The security arrangements were not made as the administration was unaware of the rally, it further stated.
It was also mentioned in the notice that as per election rules, permission is required before conducting any public gathering at any place.

?Police resorted to baton-charge to disperse the angry protesters. At least one member of the PPP was injured in the clashes and rushed to the hospital for treatment.
