Former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has vowed to change the map of Karachi if he emerges victorious in the forthcoming general elections.

The PPP chairman said he would get Karachi its due rights through representation in the provincial and national assemblies.

“Other parties are contesting polls for their benefits […] but the PPP will work for Karachi and protect its mandate,” he said.

Drawing a comparison between his party and other political parties, Bilawal said everyone else, other than the PPP, was indulging in the politics of hate and revenge.
