Addressing workers after inaugurating a party office at the Bhatti gate, Hamza said that metro bus and orange train are giving services to the people of the city.

"You can see the situation of Metro bus in Peshawar, this is Imran's new Pakistan," he said. "You will find new roads in n every single district of Punjab. People of Karachi remembers Shehbaz Sharif by looking at the progress of Punjab."

Pleading a case for the ousted premier and party leader, he said that Nawaz Sharif's being punished for bringing peace in Karachi and effectively tackling the energy crisis.

Responding to Hamza's speech, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Abdul Aleem Khan said that Hamza pursues the political legacy of corruption and loot.

"We will not only make government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but also in Punjab and centre," the PTI representative said.
