KARACHI: MQM-P leader Mustafa Kamal has strongly criticised what he described as the continued injustice and deprivation faced by Karachi, announcing that his party will now take to the streets to raise its voice for the city’s rights.
Speaking on the issue, Mustafa Kamal expressed concerns over the treatment of Karachi and the alleged failure to provide the city with its due share of resources, development and basic services. He said the people of Karachi had endured years of neglect and could no longer remain silent.
The MQM-P leader stressed that Karachi plays a vital role in Pakistan’s economy and contributes significantly to the national exchequer. Despite this contribution, he claimed that the city continues to face serious challenges, including poor infrastructure, inadequate municipal services, traffic problems, water shortages and other civic issues.
Mustafa Kamal said his party would intensify its political and public efforts to highlight Karachi’s problems. He announced that the MQM-P would organise street protests and mobilise citizens to demand the city’s rights.
The announcement marks a shift towards a more confrontational public campaign by the party on Karachi-related issues. MQM-P leaders have repeatedly called for greater administrative and financial powers for the city and a fairer distribution of resources.
The party’s decision to take to the streets could lead to increased political activity in Karachi as the MQM-P seeks to pressure the federal and provincial governments to address the city’s longstanding problems.
