PTI all set for Huqooq-e-Karachi March

Party organises rally in protest against unavailability of basic amenities in Karachi

KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) took to the streets on Friday to mobilise and invite the public for their grand rally, 'Huqooq-e-Karachi March', planned for April 30, which is going to be led by the party's chairperson, Imran Khan.

The rally on Friday was carried out from Insaf House to the Nursery bus stop. A large number of families, students and party workers joined the rally, shouting slogans against the bad governance in the city.

Joined by local leaders of the party, including MPA Samar Ali Khan, Dawa Khan Sabir and PTI General Secretary Sardar Aziz, PTI Karachi President Firdous Shamim Naqvi said the metropolitan city has been turned into a mess by the government. Whether it is the local, provincial or federal governments, all of them have failed to deliver to the city that earns them most of the revenue, Naqvi said.



We have been raising our voice about solid waste disposal, scarcity of water, load-shedding and urgent need of a mass transit system for the city but it seems the government does not pay any more attention to our protests, Naqvi said, citing it as the reason for taking to the streets to spread their message to the public.

"The people of Karachi pay most of the tax, but what do they get in return?" Naqvi questioned.

It has been decided that there will be a grand rally on April 30, which will be joined by the citizens of Karachi, he said.



Even today, the people joined us regardless of the party they supported, Naqvi said, requesting the public to come out of their homes again on April 30 to support a cause that is directly associated with the people of the city and upcoming generations.

Criticising the government, Naqvi said the mayor keeps blaming the provincial government while the latter claims it is doing a tremendous job for the city.

This blame game will come to an end soon, Naqvi added.
