Leaders of the party such as Imran Ismail, Ali Haider Zaidi, candidate for PS-114 Najeeb Haroon, MPA Khurrum Sher Zaman and the party’s Karachi president Firdous Shamim Naqvi addressed a press conference on Wednesday at party headquarters Insaf House along with various leaders belonging to different religious parties and organisations.

Haroon said that no positive change is possible in society without the support and involvement of religious leaders and PTI would never ignore the contribution of religious leaders in society even since the creation of the country.

The religious leaders said they expect the PTI candidate to represent and become the voice of the people of PS-114 and serve them with all the resources available to him.
