KARACHI:

The Pakistan Peoples Party-led (PPP) Sindh government has been manipulating the Sindhi speaking community's sentiments to prolong its rule, claimed Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) chairperson Syed Mustafa Kamal.

“The PPP frightened the Sindhi community by saying that Muttahida Qaumi Movement's slogan of a Muhajir province would be tantamount to tearing the province into pieces," he maintained while addressing a meeting with party members on Tuesday.

He added that the PPP was carrying out the same ethnic politics by spreading rumours of handing over of Karachi to the federal government, though the Centre had not issued any statement in this regard.

Kamal stated that the PSP had always stuck to the narrative that Sindh should not be divided by fanning the fires of ethnic strife and against the will of the people.

However, he added, it had become impossible to find an administrative solution to Karachi's problems because the provincial government's prejudice had led to the city’s fragmentation.

"Sindh’s division is unacceptable, as is the bifurcation of Karachi," he said, adding that his party would never let ethnic divisions engulf the province.

In order to give people of Karachi there basic rights there could be only two solutions either federal government take the ownership of the city and have administrative role to manage to rebuild the infrastructure of the city or Karachi should be declared a separate province this city can’t be managed by incompetent present Sind government visiting Karachi is like a nightmare there are no proper hotels all they have same old hotels traffic is a horrendous in this city no one follows the rule and neither the police can regulate laws so in my opinion it will help Karachi if federal government takes over the coty
