said on Wednesday that the purpose of his visit to Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
was to end the 'atmosphere of fear' so that people could freely exercise their right to vote.
"We want to give an alternative leadership to the people of Karachi where the situation has tanked because there was no-one to raise voice against terrorism," said Mr Khan who arrived in the city in the evening for the election campaign of his party's candidate Imran Ismail in the by-election on NA-246 constituency.
Addressing a presser at the DHA residence of Imran Ismail, the PTI chief said he would visit all 'no-go' areas in the city.
"If we lose the election in a free and fair polling, we will concede defeat and review our shortcomings."
He said his party had asked the Election Commission to deploy the army or Rangers in and around the polling stations for security of voters and for ensuring fair election.
