These petty feudals who are trying to discredit a perfectly good system should not be given media coverage.
The PMLF, NPP and PMLQ were part of the Musharraf setup which gave local governments much greater autonomy than the system promulgated now by the PPP. The mandate of people of Sindh is with PPP not stooges of deep state like Magsi and Pir Pagaro.

@ khalq e khuda, PML (F) is only hope for people of sindh. ppp has been badly failed to fullfill the basic needs of people of sindh for about 4 and half year.

We can’t blame PPP indeed we ruined our country by giving votes and helped them to mark our economy at low.I am extremely sure this is going to push Pakistan into canons and soon we are going to see a devastated land.I can’t see Pakistan enveloping with fire of usurping money and police force in wrong hands only because of enforcing Local government law.
probably good action because its high time to be united and to cut the corners of those anti-nation and anti-country `s woes.its time to stand within single shade only this can save Sindh from tearing apart.which is previously chained into terrorism.

You may go… we don’t need you….let poor people be elected to serve the country…not the rich poeple to fill up their never ending wealth…

@Khalq e Khuda:
How wonderfully you have expressed the reality of the existing situation. The Local Bodies system is one of the few good things Musharraf did and the MQM have done a damn good job. Another four years and the face of Karachi would change to match any other global megacity.
Every Tim, Tom, Dick, Harry, and Mary wants to come to Karachi. Welcome. Nevertheless, please respect and show love for the city that employs and feeds you. At least pay an iota of taxes, at least pay for the utilities, at least give tickets to the commuters, at least do not defecate on the streets or under trees (Sahih Muslim), at least do not throw waste paper on the roads or fire paan peek or naswar, at least do not rob banks under the guise of security guards, at least do not resort to drugs, guns and land grabbing. As it is, many katchi abadis exist.
