In a message posted on the social media website Twitter, the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) leader noted that after his arrival in Karachi, he could see garbage dumps lining Shahrah-e-Faisal, the city's main thoroughfare, as he traveled along it.
Saad Rafique's statement did not warrant strong reaction from DG ISPR: Khursheed Shah
کچھ دیر پہلے کراچی آمد ھوٸ ھے - شاھراہ ِ فیصل سے گزرتے ھوۓھر طرف غلاظت اور ملبے کے ڈھیر نظر آ رھے ھیں -عروس البلادکراچی ملبے اور کچرے سےاٹا پڑا ھے زرداری صاحب ! آپکی حکمرانی نے شھر ِقائد کواُجاڑ ڈالا-اسے سنبھالنے کی بجاۓ پیشہ ور مجرموں کے رحم وکرم پر چھوڑے رکھا - افسوس صد افسوس

"Your [Asif Zardari] government has destroyed the city of Karachi. Garbage dumps and debris line the streets," he remarked.
Opposition demands resignation of Saad Rafique
The minister also criticised the PPP government for abandoning the city to the mercy of criminals.
"Instead of managing it, you [Zardari] abandoned it to the mercy of professional criminals and gangsters," Rafique said.
