His statement came as Karachi – his party’s fortress – came to a standstill due to rain amid the electoral campaign. Reacting to Karachi's urban flooding, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, earlier taunted by Bilawal on governance, quipped that if Lahore mirrored Karachi's situation after rain, he would have withdrawn from the electoral race! Bilawal assured that the provincial cabinet of Sindh would grant Karachi its due rights, and together, they would serve the city. If Nawaz Sharif wants to leave this path, he should abandon this policy,” he said. Bilawal said that the party wanted transparent elections and hoped that despite Nawaz Sharif's pressure, the caretaker government would not interfere in the elections.
