The constituency comprises most of the urban areas of Islamabad and Bhara Kahu. PTI chief Imran Khan is contesting from here besides PML-N’s Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, PPP’s Sibtul Hasan Bukhari and MMA’s Mian Aslam.
Addressing a press conference, Bukhari said that former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had done neither development work nor made any efforts to resolve civic issues of the area since the past 11 years.
He expressed his optimism for PTI's success in the upcoming general elections and vowed to address the issues and challenges being faced by the general public of the area.
He claimed that Shahid Khaqan Abbasi along with his secretary was involved in installing illegal gas connections in Bara Kahu. He also accused Abbasi of committing the pre-poll rigging and trying to influence the public opinion. He further said that the people could never be misled by such tactics and they would use their vote for the larger interest of their country and betterment of the constituency.
Bokhari claimed to foil Abbasi's pre-poll rigging tactics and said that PTI would hold an enormous public gathering on July 14 to show its strength in the area and their commitment before Imran Khan.
Zulfi Bokhari said that people had put their trust in Imran Khan and believed that he would resolve their issues. He further stated that those party leaders who were not active at the grass root level would be made visible in their respective constituencies while no leniency would be tolerated in this regard.
