DADU: Workers of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf accorded warm welcome to participants in ‘Defence of Pakistan’ train march when they arrived on board the special train at Kotri and Khairpur railway stations from Karachi on Sunday.

The train march would pass through the province and terminate in Rahim Yar Khan.

PTI Sindh general secretary Haleem Adil Shaikh, who led the march, said in his speech before the party workers at Kotri railway station that every Pakistani citizen was ready to sacrifice his life for the security and integrity of the homeland.

He said that fearless and battle-hardened Pakistan army was capable of eliminating the enemy should the situation spiral into a full-fledged war. Pakistan had earned respect in the comity of nations because of political vision and effective foreign policy pursued by PTI government under the able leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan, he said.

KHAIRPUR: Activists of PTI Khairpur chapter welcomed the train march at the railway station where Mr Shaikh addressed them and said that Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s speech in parliament was being shown on Indian TV channels as proof to justify their unfounded claims. He said that people from Karachi to Kashmore had sent a clear message to Modi that they stood by their defense institutions and armed forces.
