Kamal says PM ignorant of city’s ground realities

Pak Sarzameen Party Chairman Syed Mustafa Kamal said that the shallow promises and exaggerated claims made by Prime Minister Imran Khan on the development of Karachi were far from reality and a proof of complete ignorance.

Kamal further highlighted that the PM was being misinformed and misguided about the ground realities of Karachi and the government’s incompetence to remedy the issues. Kamal suggested feasible ways to resolve Karachi’s problems to the federal and provincial governments.

He called attention to the fact that Imran Khan is the sixth Prime Minister to have inaugurated KCR with more or less similar promises as his predecessor. “The people of Karachi thus continue to be fooled,” he said. Kamal added the PM made an unrealistic and impractical claim that the K-IV project will be completed in 2023, but it is evidently clear that Khan is unaware of the ground realities.

He said the project would not be completed even after two years.
