|
 [GEO.TV] With general elections less than three weeks away, Arslan Khalid — a PTI-affiliated independent candidate (NA-248) — was among 10 people who sustained injuries during an attack on "Mehfil-e-Milad" in 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...
In the first information report (FIR) lodged at Azizabad Police Station, Khalid stated that he organised a "Mehfil-e-Milad" on behalf of PTI at his plot in Federal B Area's Azizabad.
"At 12:30[am], around 100 to 200 unidentified masked men entered the plot and attacked me and my companions with punches, kicks and batons."
Khalid said he suffered injuries to his head and was rushed to Abbassi Shaheed Hospital for treatment.

a spokesperson of the PTI blamed Muttahida Qaumi Movement
...English: United National Movement, generally known as MQM, is the 3rd largest political party and the largest secular political party in Pakistain with particular strength in Sindh. From 1992 to 1999, the MQM was the target of the Pak Army's Operation Cleanup leaving thousands of urdu speaking civilians dead...
-Pakistain (MQM-P) for the attack. The spokesperson demanded that the Election Commission of Pakistain (ECP) and the caretaker Sindh government take strict notice of the incident.
Stern action should be taken against the suspects involved in the attack, the spokesperson added.
Meanwhile,
...back at the the conspirators' cleverly concealed hideout Montefiore's foot was still stuck and the hound had completely soaked his uniform with slobber...
Pakistain Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) candidate from NA-250 Khawaja Sohail Mansoor also accused MQM-P of attacking his party election offices set up in areas falling under NA-250 and PS-129.
Political parties' election campaigns have, in the past and the ongoing as well, witnessed spasms of violence, with scores of candidates and voters targeted — and either rivals or holy warriors are blamed.
Earlier this month, a local leader of PTI, Shah Khalid, was rubbed out by unidentified gunnies in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) Swabi district.
Another independent election candidate was killed in North  Wazoo in the same month. The independent candidate, identified as Kaleemullah Khan, was eyeing to contest polls for the KP assembly's PK-104.
