After 3 years he realized this. Good work!
Too little. Too late
Lyari area in Karachi needs a proper city plan with a look of city. Lyari City need wide roads, land demarcation, a city infrastructure in place with wide sidewalks. The look of Lyari need uplift so the there is increase in property prices. Entrance to Lyari City from north and south should be widened with three lane roads. The new Lyari City should be broken and boardered by wide roads. Lee Market should be converted into a public library and Encroachment removed to make a greater square of the place. A new city planning along modern city with new breed of young architects as well as planners. We are happy finally our President Asif Zardari noe rolling ball for a new Lyari City. Please Do It PROPERLY.
Zardari trying to win back Lyari through bribes. Where was Nabeel Gabol in these meetings. He is the true rep of Lyari. Zardari has tried to remove him and put bilawal or tappi in place of Nabeel, which is why PPP has now lost Lyari. Maybe Zardari can buy them back but I doubt it. Lyari people are no fools. Zulfiqar Bhutto predicted that if PPP loses the support of Lyari, it will be the end of PPP.
Lyari development project is another example of provincial government failure as it sold plots through balloting to people but not fullfil commitment constructing the infra structure and society with timly handing over to public.Due to this prices for instance hawsbay scheme 42 plots have drastically decrease to 40-50% discount giving public heavy losses
Vote Khappay - Election Khappay
Lyari has gone out of the hands of PPP after the Police operation against the criminals.
The incomplete Police operation has left many scars on the hearts and minds of the family members of the innocent people who got killed during the Police operation in Lyari.
Even if Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will contest the next general election from Lyari, he will not be able to win the seat.
After the round of bullets have finished, the President is going to send flowers to Lyariites which will not change their minds.
The Lyari NA and PA seats have become a case of political death and life for PPP.
Those who will remain alive till the next general elections results are announced of Lyari NA and PA seats will feel the difference of the mind set of Lyariites.
The fact is PPP-Karachi can't compete with the fire power of Amman Commitee in Lyari. Zardari is panicking and going to use his brain against the gangsters who got out of hands.
Took him four and half years to realise this. Lyari wake up.Vote for those who care and stay in your midst
The meeting also discussed the sewerage schemes, road repairs and improvement in education facilities.
Ironically, Zardari discussed the issues that needed to be resolved by local bodies/ provinical govt...
Neglected for 4 and half years, Lyari seat will no longer be PPP's.
They are goining to discuss their monthly bill for telephonic address. Pay our bills we are with you else we are with you always. Show us the money , you are our honey.
