The country’s rulers were incapable and corrupt, he added.

“People of Karachi have high hopes with rangers and military courts and they are optimistic regarding receiving justice.” he said. “If the killers of PTI worker Fazal Rahim are not arrested, then the PTI will go on protest.” The murder case should be tried

“We will try to inaugurate the Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital in Karachi by December 29, 2019,” said Imran Khan while addressing a gathering.
“For an ordinary person cancer treatment is very expensive and so, 90 percent of them cannot afford it, but at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital whether you have money or not, you get the same medical treatment.”
“About 75 percent patients receive free treatment at our hospitals,” Kaptaan said while explaining the need to help unprivileged people
in the country when it comes to combating cancer. “SKMCH&RC has spent Rs 26 billion in free cancer treatment,” he informed.
