Author: Abdul Ghani

As all the political parties have launched their campaigns for the general elections 2018, some political leaders are facing public’s outrage while others are being showered unconditional love upon.

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and former leader of the opposition in the National Asssembly Khursheed Shah are among the more adored.

While inaugurating the office for election campaign in Lyari , Bilawal was kissed by a Jiyala and showed his love for the chairman. However, he was too pleased with all the love received.

Similarly, during the corner meeting in Sukkur, a supporter of Syed Khursheed Shah asked permission and  greeted him with kisses.

On the other hand, political leaders also faced unexpected anger and ire during electioneering.

The former  Sindh Chief Minister and PPP leader Murad Ali shah faced tough questions and grilled by voters in Sehwan. He finally left the meeting amid the people started asking questions about the development of his constituency

Sikandar Hayat Bosen, who was given PTI ticket to contest election from NA-154 (Multan) faced public outrage and he had to flee to avoid the situation being more violent.

The famous public figure and televangelist Dr Amir Liaquat Hussain who will be contesting election 2018 from NA-245( Karachi) had to bear the wrath of angry public.

The  general election will be held on July 25.
