PTI Sindh President Haleem Adil Sheikh held a press conference at Karachi Press Club, addressing what he described as increasing restrictions on the party’s activities. “It seems there’s a ban on media coverage at Insaf House, which is why our voice is not shown,” he remarked, emphasizing PTI’s commitment to addressing the challenges the party and its supporters face. Accompanied by PTI leaders, including Acting General Secretary Dr. Masroor Sial, Karachi President Raja Azhar, and other senior members, Sheikh discussed recent arrests of PTI workers.
“These individuals were detained for uncommitted crimes,” he said, alluding to the recent detentions following protests. Sheikh underscored PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s detention as a sacrifice for the nation’s future. “Imran Khan is not in prison for himself or the party. He is there for the country,” he stated, calling for rule of law and the release of PTI leaders.
“The time for the final call is near,” he warned, signaling a potential surge in PTI’s protests if demands remain unmet. Karachi Division President Raja Azhar raised alarm over the deteriorating law and order in Karachi, citing statistics of escalating street crimes and abductions. Over the past ten months, 62,000 cases were reported, with more than 16,000 mobile phones and 39,000 motorcycles stolen. “Despite promises of action, there’s little progress,” Azhar said, criticizing police performance and alleging that citizens are left unprotected. Azhar also condemned police attacks on PTI members during a peaceful gathering, asserting, “Police, along with private thugs, attacked our workers.
