The three-day tour will commence with Khan spending the first day in Karachi to meet prominent businessmen of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and address a youth convention at a hotel to present PTI’s policy for the general elections. The PTI chief will address seven public gathering in Karachi, said PTI Central Information Secretary Shafqat Mehmood, while speaking to The Express Tribune.
After a successful visit to South Punjab, it was decided to launch a campaign of engagement with the rural population of Sindh to mobilise them to understand the ‘vote for change’ ideology, on which PTI will contest the elections, Mehmood claimed.
On Sunday and Monday, Khan – along with the party’s central and Sindh chapter leadership – will visit Mirpurkhas, Dadu and other interior parts of the province to meet locals and convey his message for change. He will address public gatherings at several places and listen to the locals’ grievances.
Another party leader said on the condition of anonymity that Khan will also expose the wrongdoings of President Asif Ali Zardari in a bid to win the hearts of the dejected voters of the Pakistan Peoples Party in Sindh.
On December 26, Khan will pay a visit to his native town of Mianwali, Punjab. During that time, Khan will carry out a personalised, door-to-door campaign.

Who are these people that criticize PTI, I have found out! These are the electricity & has thieves, they are the people that make and sell fake medicines, they are the tax evaders and defaulters, they are the ones that have jobs in government. PIA, WAPDA, Steel Mills, Sui Gas, etc not because of merit or qualification BUT BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION!! THEY ARE THE REASON OUR COUNTRY IS IN THE SITUATION..... & Imran Khan is a threat to them!!!
Go Khab Sahab we are with you! Insha Allah PTI will come in power in next general elections and will change the fate of pakistan for good
Imran did not enter politics for greed, power, money or fame. He does not need that and he has proven that again and again. Now if you think that he is/was successful because of establishment (which he never was) then you should support him even more if you think the establishment has moved away from him. I would assume from your comment that you want to see a prosperous, just and successful Pakistan. Not run by mafias supported by the establishment. Don't you? Or you just like to complain and advance conspiracy theories? It is better to lit a candle than to curse the dark. It is black and white if you really are a person of substance. Compare Imran to any other politician in Pakistan and in two minutes you would come to the conclusion that he is not corrupt, does not like nepotism and has been meritorious whenever he has been in a position of authority. So the choice is yours and it is not even a hard one to make. It is day and light. Now if you have vested interests that you think are bigger than your motherland then God save us all. Then off course I can't convince you or others that think like that. But remember that a failed state can not protect the interest of any one. Don't let Pakistan be failed state. We have to make a better choice every time when it concerns our motherland. Period!

The level of ignorance in pakisan is such immense that we cannot rely on common people to choose wisely. In a country where people sell their vote over a plate of cooked rice, you cannot expect a big change. Specially the rural pakistan is worse than ever. People are simple illiterate, rigid and unreasonable to the skin. They have absolutely no sense of the word "national interest". IK needs to concentrate on urban population only who have some sense and may bring in the desired change...but villages are simply hopeless.
@Blithe: Nawaz and Shahbaz are both copying imran. imran does not need to copy them. IK has a unique youth with him who are ideologists not paid servants.Shahbaz is spending money on laptops with the taxes of the poor people. there is a chinese proverb "if you give a hungry man a fish you will give him food for only once, if you teach him how to catch fish you wil give him food for his entire life. Why shahbaz and nawaz create resources for youth which will enable them to buy laptops.
great imran we are waiting for u in karachi to welcome our great brave leader we love u and vote only uuuu shumaila karachi
Sindh has been PTI's Achilles heel...good that PTI is focusing on it
Copying Nawaz Sharif , again
isi claims its nawaz winning,does ik know that?and what good he can do if results are fixed.(strong pti suppoter)
Since I know he is highly predictable , So I would expect that eventhough he would be in Sindh he would be criticizing only PMLN and Sharif bradran to please his PPP+PMLQ allies.
Are Drones targeting Sindh too?
good job immi, sindh needs to be got rid of those goons. My advice is to concentrate on rural sindh and try to educated people about the power of vote, because the more you ignorrant the more is the chance that you will vote PPP.
No use of tours anymore, as the establishment has now launched a new pawn in the shape of Siyasat-Riyasat Qadri after the failure of Thussnami Khan!
