PTI candidates woo minorities ahead of general elections

Ali Zaidi, Mansoor Sheikh reach out to Christian community in Karachi

With less than a fortnight to general polls, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders attempt to woo minority vote in Karachi.

PTI candidate for NA-244 (Karachi East III) Ali Zaidi and PS-104 (Karachi East VI) Mansoor Sheikh reached out to the port city’s Christian community by meeting Bishop Sadiq Daniel on Thursday night and calling on Cadinal Joseph Coutts early Friday morning.



Taking to Twitter, Zaidi thanked the bishop for extending support to the Imran Khan-led party. “InshaAllah in Naya Pakistan every citizen will get an equal opportunity to build a future for himself and his family,” he wrote.
