Scuffles broke out between PPP and PTI supporters while Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab was addressing the media after casting his vote during the Sindh local body by-elections on Thursday, videos of the incident showed.
Wahab was addressing the media after casting his vote in Karachi’s Gizri area when scuffles broke out amid sloganeering by the respective party supporters.
Speaking on the occasion, Wahab said that the parliament was the way to solve political issues and not by inciting people and coming onto the streets.
