KARACHI: PTI workers and supporters gathered outside the Karachi Press Club on Friday in line with party chairman Imran Khan’s call to protest against massive hike in petrol prices and demanded Shahbaz-led government step down and call general elections immediately.

Led by PTI Sindh chapter president Ali Zaidi, former Sindh governor Imran Ismail, Karachi PTI president Bilal Ghaffar and party MNAs and MPAs, the protesters chanted slogans against the “imported government” and called policies of Finance Minister Miftah Ismail disastrous.

“This massive price hike in prices of petroleum products has in fact hidden other inefficiencies and anti-people move of this imported government,” said Mr Zaidi while speaking to the protesters carrying placards and banners with slogans against PM Shehbaz Sharif’s government.

Former Sindh governor Imran Ismail said that “imported leaders” were so desperate to take power under their control that they didn’t realise the situation of the world’s economy and their incompetence further exposed them after they failed to come up with any plan for the country’s economy.
