Authorities in Pakistans southern Sindh province on Thursday externed cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan to prevent him from organising rallies to urge people not to participate in the February 18 general election.
Security officials did not allow Khan, the chief of the Tehrik-e-Insaaf party, to leave the airport after he flew into the city in the afternoon.
Sindh’s caretaker Home Minister Akhtar Zamin said Khan had been externed from the province because “he wants that elections should not be held”.
