Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan’s (MQM-P) Deputy Convenor Amir while accused the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)-led provincial government of total injustice to the people living in the urban areas of Sindh has again called for a separate province
Addressing a press conference, he said the party would continue its campaign for the rights of the urban Sindh and would start a drive against atrocities of Sindh government after relaxing of Covid curbs.
Amir Khan also reiterated MQM-P’s demand to conduct a fresh census in Karachi and create a new urban province in Sindh.
He demanded that the government immediately announce a new census, allocate a budget for it and compile a transparent voters list in each constituency.
The MQM-P leader said that General Yahya Khan was making Karachi a separate province but the Muhajir elders preferred to stay with Sindh at that time.
He accused the PPP’s provincial government of not providing drinking water to the residents of urban Sindh.
“The Sindh government has occupied all the civic departments and entities for looting,” he alleged.
“Along with the provincial government, the federal government and institutions also complain that injustice has been done to the people of Karachi,” he said.
“First, a biased quota system was implemented and then even according to the quota, jobs were not given to the urban residents.”
“It has never happened to the workers of any political party in Pakistan that happened to our workers,” said MQM-P senior leader Aamir Khan.
“Have workers of any political party ever been extra-judicially killed?” he asked. “Did our youth ever take up arms in the mountains and hijack a plane?”
The MQM-P leader said that the party showed unity in its ranks and its MPAs spoiled all conspiracies.
“We will also win the upcoming local bodies polls and next general elections,” said the senior leader.
