PTI rivals claimed that the people of Karachi have rejected the party’s Plan C. Representatives of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) claimed the plan only aims at destabilising the economy of Pakistan
“While he failed to attract the crowd, he succeeded in causing a loss of more than Rs80 billion to the economy on Friday,” said PPP senator Taj Haider. Haider said that the PTI leader wanted to make a new Pakistan by setting a new precedent: staging sit-ins on the main arteries of the city, setting tyres on fire and pelting stones on moving vehicles.
Ismail Rahoo, the president of PML-N Sindh chapter, termed the PTI sit-in a ‘flop show’.
Meanwhile, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leaders were not quite so critical of the demonstration. “Every party should have the right to conduct peaceful political activities in any city of Pakistan,” said MQM Rabita Committee member Ghazi Salahuddin.

What is coming out of all this commotion is a MATURE MQM.
MQM has learned many lessons from the showdown that happened on 12th May. I hope such maturity is maintained in their worker ranks and leadership. It is vital to prevent bloodshed in the city of Karachi.
As far as PTI is concerned, we have yet to see a major breakthrough in Imran's dream of a Naya Pakistan.
Opposition is loosing the ground to PTI. They have lost senses and trying to brush situation by mocking.
