KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party is all set to show its political muscle in Karachi where former president Asif Ali Zardari will address a rally, in a rare show of power in the port city’s fragile Lyari neighborhood.
The Lyari neighbourhood has witnessed a lull in violence in recent months following the Rangers-led Karachi operation launched to rid the city of criminals and terrorists.
All arrangements have been finalised for the rally at the Kakri Ground, where the party has placed billboards carrying pictures of PPP founding leader Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto and Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.
The organisers have set up a 20-feet-high stage with two exclusive enclosures for media coverage.
The rally was expected to start at 4:00 pm but PPP workers started thronging the venue late Sunday afternoon.
Besides Zardari, Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah, Najmi Alam and other leaders of the PPP will address the participants of the rally.
