Two days of rainfall in Karachi exposed the Karachi Transformation Plan of the government, said Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman.
Addressing a press conference at Idara Noor-e-Haq on Sunday, the JI leader said that only 26 millimetres of rain washed away the towering claims by the provincial government.
He added that in the current scenario, a 200 millimetre downpour as experienced by Mumbai in July this year will sink the entire Karachi city, from suburbs, to slums, and the posh areas and affluent neighbourhoods.
Lambasting the political parties, he said that the PPP, the PTI and the MQM did nothing on the ground for the city. All the three parties did was loot, plunder and blame game, he said.
He said neither the federal, nor the provincial governments are sincere to the megalopolis. The three parties are busy in a fake fight to deceive the masses, he said, adding that the PTI, the PPP and the MQM are responsible for ruining the infrastructure of the city.
The JI leader said that Prime Minister Imran Khan had announced a Rs162 billion package. Now the package and the announcement have reached their third death anniversary, he added.
He further said that on September 2, 2020, the premier had announced a Rs1,100 billion package but the impacts of the announcement are yet to mature.
