HYDERABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party Sindh president Nisar Ahmad Khuhro has said that after suffering rout in NA-120 by-election in Lahore, a defeated Imran Khan will now come to Hyderabad to address a public meeting.

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman who used to blame Nawaz Sharif for taking on institutions had himself dragged the apex court into by-election for NA-120, he said.

Mr Khuhro was addressing a press conference at the residence of a local PPP leader here on Monday.

He said that in fact PML-N had lost NA-120 by-election even after winning it since its number of voters had dropped by 30,000 in spite of the fact that Kulsoom Nawaz was a relatively less controversial figure in Sharif family.

Bilawal to address public meeting in Hyderabad

He said that Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari would address a public meeting in Hyderabad on Oct 18 to mark the 10th anniversary of Karsaz blast. He said that this time PPP would pay tribute to Karsaz victims in Hyderabad which was heart of Sindh. The province would play its due role once again, he said.
