Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan AmeerSirajulHaq has called for restoration of Karachi -ruined by the interests based politics and flawed policies of the PPP, the MQM and the PTI.
The JI leader was holding a press conference at the JI Karachi headquarters on Friday over the issues surrounding national politics and the domestic situations in Karachi.
He said that people across the Sindh, including Karachi are hopeless of ruling regimes in the province and the center. The PPP, the MQM and the PTI have ruined Karachi as unfortunately the city has lost its leadership.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that each and every individual in Karachi wants the city to be saved so the JI Karachi launched Save Karachi Movement. He added that the PPP government in Sindh has ambushed the local government law but the JI campaign and agitation by masses will compel the ruling regime to withdraw the controversial bill.
He added that masses would be demonstrating a strong protest against the controversial bill outside the Sindh Assembly building on December 31.
He further said that all the three; the PTI, the PPP and the MQM, enjoyed the politics of interests in the city. The PPP didn't deliver anywhere in the province, he said. The PTI also announced packages worth more than Rs1, 100 billion for Karachi but nothing was changed on the ground.
He further said that the outgoing year proved to be a year of inflation for the people of Karachi. He said that the MQM in 2013 gifted 15 local government departments to the provincial government of PPP while in 2021 the same party snatched 14 more departments of the local government.
