The man behind the recent stencils of Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah's face next to open manholes in the city has invited the provincial premier to meet him at Tibet Centre on MA Jinnah Road.
"If you need to contact me, I am standing at the Tibet Centre. Come and see me," said Alamgir Khan, adding that now the chief minister would have to come where he invited him.

Speaking to the media at Karachi Press Club, he said so far no government official had contacted him. He added that he did not receive any phone call from the CM House either.
He said if the CM approached him and resolved the city's issues, he will salute him. From Karachi Press Club, he said, he was directly going to the Tibet Centre. He said that he could have drawn the stencils of Pakistan Peoples Party chairperson and co-chairperson, but he didn't, as according to him it was the CM's responsibility to resolve the city's civic issues.

Asking all political parties to unite on one platform to resolve the woes of the port city, he said that even if he received any complaint against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's Arif Alvi, he would draw his images on the road.
If drawing stencils on roads is unlawful, he asked the government to declare it as such and he would immediately stop doing so.
