KARACHI: Law enforcement agencies arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf MPA Rabistan Khan along with his workers from Gulshan-e- Maymar area of Karachi on Sunday.

According to a report, PTI’s MPA was arrested on the charges of attacking and injuring the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) candidate Hilal Rehmani during the polling process of the local government elections in Karachi. PTI injured Hilal Rehmani, the PPP candidate from Union Council (UC) Gulshan Mimar in an attack on Sunday. Hilal Rahmani is the son of Member National Assembly (MNA) Shahida Rahmani and a candidate for the PPP.

As per the report, PPP’s UC candidate Hilal Rahmani was seriously injured and shifted to the hospital for medical treatment. Sindh President Nisar Khoro, General Secretary Waqar Mehdi, and Karachi Division President Saeed Ghani strongly condemned the attack and said the PTI goons who injured Hilal Rahmani should be brought to justice.

Another clash between two political parties occurred at Nasira School in the limits of Al-Falah Police Station in Karachi and a political activist named Osama Yusuf was injured who later shifted to the hospital for medical assistance.

Former Sindh Governor and PTI leader Imran Ismail strongly condemned the arrest of MPA Rabistan Khan and said it is equivalent to stealing his party’s mandate. Ismail said Rabistan Khan’s fault was just to stop the PPP goons from rigging in the local bodies elections in Karachi.

He warned that blocking the way of his party’s mayorship under the Chairmanship of Imran Khan will cost the Sindh government. The PTI leader also demanded the government that Rabistan Khan should be released immediately.
