Nisar was speaking to the media on Saturday after a party meeting in Lahore.
The opposition leader said the state of affairs in Karachi was against free and fair elections.
Speaking about the overall situation in Sindh and Balochistan, Nisar said despite his insistence, no opposition leader was appointed in the provincial assemblies.
Resolving to fight constitutionally, Nisar said the opposition will not let President Asif Ali Zardari set up a caretaker government of his choice in the two provinces.

PPP-MQM wants to bring a muka muka caretaker in Sindh. Free and fair election is fundamental right of every one but it seems distant dream in Sindh specially in Karachi. The role of ECP chief is unsatisfactory and his soft approach towards Karachi delimitation shows that free and fair elections are only slogans. Pls give us free and fair election. Lets give us right to choose our leaders. Pls Justice!
