Shehbaz Sharif meets Karachi rain victims

Opposition leader and former Punjab chief minister Shehbaz Sharif arrived in Karachi on a day-long visit to show solidarity with the victims of urban flooding triggered by the record-breaking monsoon rains.

Sharif met with residents of Malir and heard their problems.

The PML-N leader urged the political parties to refrain from politicking on the rain-ravaged Karachi.

The federal government should tell the people about the funds it had allocated for the Sindh province, he said.

Quoting sources Dunya News reported the PML-N delegation led by Shehbaz Sharif has been scheduled to meet Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari at the Bilawal House.

The meeting between the top leadership of both opposition parties will be held at 4:00pm during which current political situation in the country will come into discussion.

Shehbaz Sharif will also meet Edhi Foundation chief Faisal Edhi and visit the party’s Nazimabad office during his stay in the city.
