KARACHI:
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) will start its protests from today against Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s refusal to step down after his conviction in a contempt case.
The PML-N Karachi president, Nehal Hashmi, said that the protest will continue till Gilani resigns from his post.
Hashmi was speaking at a press conference on Saturday which was also attended by the former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Karachi vice president, Zahid Dehlvi, who announced his membership with PML-N.
“The Lyari operation which restricted thousands of people to their homes for seven days was a farce,” said Hashmi. “The injustice and deteriorating law and order will continue till such rulers remain in power.”
Hashmi claimed that Rs1.7 billion was sanctioned for the development of Lyari but no such ‘development’ took place. “All things have been completed on paper but in reality, the public representatives and contractors divided that money amongst themselves,” he alleged. “Millions of rupees have also been spent on the recent operation in Lyari.”

UPDATE:
PTI’s general secretary for Sindh Dr Hasan Raza Memon told The Express Tribune on Sunday that they had issued a clarification to all television channels and newspapers saying that no person by the name of Zahid Dehlvi was ever in the party.
About the press conference with the PML-N, he said that they had just put someone there and claimed he was a PTI member.

A press release of PTI Karachi office is also attached in the above link which mentions about Hassan Raza part of PTI in 2 years ago.
Karachi: People of Pakistan must not forget the flood effected people of Badin & other districts of Sindh, said by Dr. Hasan Raza Memon (General Secretary, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Sindh) in special Eid message.
Dr. Hasan Raza stated the great flood, in the last year, destroyed the whole infrastructure in the Sindh which was caused by the incompetence and non-interest by the Government and once again this year Government has disappointed the people. He was expressing his views after offering the Eid prayer among the flood effectives is Badin. Dr. Memon said instead of focusing on the relief activities for the flood affected areas, the government is busy in satisfying their coalition partners to be power which proves that government has no interest to give relief to the people. Dr. Hasan Raza was accompanied by Jawad Ali (Imran Khan Foundation), Abdullah Musakhel (Vice President PTI Badin), Shakeela (President Women Wing PTI Badin) and Zuleikha (General Secretary PTI Women Wing Badin).
PTI Sindh Secretary General Dr. Hasan Raza informed that Chairman PTI Imran Khan will visit the flood affected areas very soon.
