Mismanagement mars PTI’s Foundation Day event in Karachi

Author: Muzammil Ferozi

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Sunday arranged a public gathering at Mangal Bazar Ground, situated in Karachi’s Gulshan-e-Iqbal area, in connection with the party’s 23rd Foundation Day, but the organisers had to stop the event due to mismanagement and a brawl between two sections of the party.

According to details, during a public gathering, two groups of the party started shouting at each other, but words soon turned into fists, and they started pelting stones on each other.

One group started shouting and taunting while the party’s acting Sindh President Haleem Adil Sheikh was addressing the gathering. The media was stopped from covering the scene.

Daily Times learned that no prominent leader came to the dice because of the situation, and they left the gathering without even addressing the workers.

According to sources, the PTI’s Karachi leadership chose a small ground for the event, believing that they would not be able to attract a big crowd on the Foundation Day. “We are worried about the incompetence of the PTI leadership in Karachi. No one is sincere with the party… everyone is running after a designation or a post,” said a young PTI worker, adding that the party had failed to bring about a real change in society.

A PTI worker said that Imran Khan’s political struggle spanned over a period of 23 years, but in Karachi, everyone was a leader of his own group.
