JI condemns PPP, mayor for city's issues

A large number of Union Council chairmen and councillors, belonging to the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), staged a demonstration in front of the city council, on Monday, against water shortage and other crises in the megalopolis; chanting slogans against the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) government in Sindh, as well as the city mayor, over their failure in addressing the long standing issues of the city.

Leader of the opposition in the city council, Saifuddin Advocate, addressed the demonstration, stating that the JI has decided to take to the streets, with no respite in agitation until and unless Karachi's rights are granted. He added that the final phase of the Karachi Rights Movement will commence after Eidul Adha, with the aim to topple the PPP government with the help of the Karachiites.
