Imran Khan cancels his visit to Parachinar

PARACHINAR: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan cancelled his visit to Parachinar which was scheduled for Friday (today).

PTI candidate for NA-46 Iqbal Syed Mian informed about this development during a press conference at the press club. “Imran Khan had cancelled his visit to Parachinar after the Peshawar suicide attack,” he said.

Iqbal Syed stated that the PTI chief was due to address a public gathering in Parachinar as a part of his election campaign for July 15 polls. “Imran Khan had planned to start his election campaign in tribal areas from Parachinar,” he added.

PTI has also allotted tickets to its candidates in other tribal areas, including North Waziristan, Khyber, Orakzai, Khyber, Mohmand, Bajaur and Frontier Regions.

Earlier today, a bomb ripped through the convoy of Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) candidate Akram Khan Durrani in a Bannu neighborhood this morning. He, however, escaped unhurt while four people were killed and 14 others injured in attack, ARY News reported.

This is the second terrorist attack targeting an election candidate in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province as Awami National Party (ANP) candidate Haroon Bilour and over a dozen others were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a corner meeting in Peshawar’s Yakatut area.
