At least four people were killed and five others injured in a blast on Tuesday at a rally of jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s party in Balochistan. An officer gave this information.
The blast took place on Jinnah Road in Sibi city when an election rally of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party’s ‘National Assembly’ candidate was passing by.
Dr. Babar, Medical Superintendent of the District Headquarters Hospital in Sibi, confirmed that four people were killed and five others were injured. He said that the victims were admitted to the Civil Hospital.
Officials said that police reached the site of the attack and started searching for the criminals. The PTI party said in a statement that the blast attacked an election rally of party-backed candidate Saddam Tareen, who is contesting the upcoming elections from the constituency.
The party claimed that the victims were its workers. “We strongly condemn this heartbreaking incident and demand that the focus should be on eliminating terrorists rather than PTI workers,” the party said in a post on social media platform ‘X’.
