Please tell the public who appointed the commissioner deputy commissioners? Wasn't it your government who appointed them?

Mohammad Ali Siddiqui | 12 years ago | Reply Agha Siraj Durrani: After the MQM wrapped up, you never have the courage to hold elections of City Government as PPP did not have the majority to grab enough seats to run the City Government. Now you are blaming the Commissioner and the Deputy Commissioners that they are conspiring against the PPP government? Tell me, who introduced the Commissionerate system and who made the Commissioner and the Deputy Commissioners in Karachi? It was the PPP government and no one else. Mind that now PPP days are numbered and you do not have any say in Karachi, it is better to pass your time quietly, without raising any objection. Had MQM remained in the City government, there would not have been so many strikes and riots in the city. Good buy and have a quite weekend.
