Next mayor of Karachi to be from JI: Naeem

Amir of Karachi chapter of Jamaat-e-Islami Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman has said that only tarazu (scale) guarantees the development and prosperity of Karachi.

"People reposed their trust in JI by voting for it overwhelmingly in the local bodies elections on January 15," he said while speaking at a public Iftar arranged by his party in UC2 of Etihad Town in district Keamari on Saturday. "JI candidates will sweep the elections for the vacant seats on April 18," he claimed.

He said that the people of Karachi made JI No 1 party despite all the tactics of the PPP and Sindh government. He accused the PPP of colluding with ROs and DROs to steal the public mandate as 5,400 votes of a JI candidate were turned into 1,030 votes to declare the PPP candidate winner in one constituency.
