Her sister, hairstylist Palwasha Yousuf also took to the photosharing app to share pictures of the group heading to the gathering, held at MA Jinnah Road. 

Aye Musht e Khaak actor Feroze Khan took to his Instagram stories to share views from the stage, as well as videos of Khan at the event.

Actor Mariyam Nafees and filmmaker husband Amaan Ahmed also shared pictures from the stage, wearing PTI colours around their necks.

Celebrity couple Sarwat Gillani and Fahad Mirza were also present at the Jalsa with Pakistani flags in hand. Fahad wrote on his Instagram stories along with a picture of him and his wife, “Pakistan Zindabad. To see this passion, this fervour, this national unity for the first time in my life was an awe-inspiring experience!” 

Singer Haroon Shahid came with family to the venue, posing with his kids in a picture posted on his social media. 

PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday evening claimed that the "imported" government was trying to push his party out of the political arena through the foreign funding case, therefore, for the sake of fairness, the court cases against PPP, PTI, and PML-N must be heard together.

Addressing a massive public gathering at Karachi's Bagh-e-Jinnah, Imran thanked the people of the metropolis for coming out of their houses to show support for him, saying that the purpose of his visit to Karachi was not in the interests of the PTI but it was for the sake of Pakistan and the future of its children.

The former prime minister also shared that since a “strong and powerful” Pakistani community lived in the United States, he believed in establishing congenial relations with all countries.
