We applied for and received all necessary legal permissions.Fact 3: PTI always said they would hold a jalsa at Mazar-e-Quaid on 12th May - not that they have anything to commemorate.Fact 4: While our preparations were on-going, PTI arbitrarily changed their jalsa venue and set up a camp at our ground - which was a provocative step.Fact 5: Stones were thrown at PPP workers from PTI’s camp. Our trucks were set on fire. PTI leader’s guards fired weapons. More than 20 workers sustained considerable injuries.‏Fact 6: To attack us in such a way on this tragic day, is a sad commentary on the fascist tendencies of PTI.Fact 7: I call for a complete enquiry to hold all those responsible accountable.Fact 8: PTI has shown such an appalling attitude. However in the interest of peace in Karachi, which we have fought so hard for, I not only ask my Party to find another location, but also invite @ImranKhanPTI to hold his jalsa at Hakeem Saeed ground.Fact 8: PTI has shown such an appalling attitude.
