HYDERABAD: Speaking to reporters outside the shrine of Shah Abdul Latif Bithai on Wednesday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan stressed that the local bodies (LB) elections were essential to empower the people of Sindh.
The PTI chairman said the LB system was a problem across Pakistan placing the blame on the PPP and PML-N for not conducting LB polls in Sindh and Punjab.
“As long as local bodies’ elections are not held, people at the bottom are not given powers and this system of centralised control is not broken, the poor will keep getting poorer and the system will not change,” he said.
Khan was welcomed by a crowd of supporters as he paid a visit to the shrine of the revered saint.
“We have come to Shah Lateef’s shrine, and this is where we begin our campaign in Sindh. We are trying to bring the change that the entire Pakistan…urban and rural Sindh is dreaming of,” he said.
