The otherwise dull campaigning for the July 25 elections in Karachi finally gained momentum on Monday — the last day of electioneering in the country including Karachi — as almost every political and religious party as well as independent candidates tried their best to convey their messages to maximum number of people by holding public meetings, corner meetings and door-to-door canvassing.
Besides using traditional ways, parties used innovative methods to send their message to the people before the electioneering came to an end on the night between Monday and Tuesday.
Wrapped in flags of Pakistan Peoples Party, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, Pak Sarzameen Party, Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan, Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal, Tehreek Labbaik Pakistan, etc, several pickup trucks, decorated with banners displaying each party’s election symbol and portraits of its leaders, were seen roaming, or parked, on various busy spots in the city.
Besides door-to-door campaigning and corner meetings, major parties took out rallies in different parts of the city in which their activists were seen dancing to the tune of party songs and shouting slogans in favour of their respective candidates and leaders throughout the day.
