The UK Assembly elections are due to take place on June 7, and political parties will make a final push to mobilize voters across the region before campaigning officially ends later this week.
Top Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Qaiser on Friday alleged that he was prevented from reaching Islamabad airport and missed his flight to Skardu for election campaigning in Britain.
