KARACHI: Mustafa Kamal-led Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) today (Sunday) has announced to hold a protest rally against contentious figures of population census in Karachi.
“We would go to any length for correction of the census figures of Karachi’s population,” PSP chief Mustafa Kamal said while addressing a press conference in Karachi. “The federal government isn’t prepared to count an actual figure of Karachi’s population,” he added.
He said that the census results suggest that Lahore’s population has increased whereas the population of Karachi despite rapid migration ironically reduced. “Karachi is being subjugated to worst animosity by the provincial and federal government,” he added.
The PSP chief further said that his party will hold a rally from Pakistan House to Karachi Press Club on January 10 in the initial stage. He also called the general public to participate in the party’s rally and the public meeting on January 10.
Mustafa Kamal also criticized Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), holding it responsible for devastation in Sindh from Karachi to Kashmore. In a scathing attack on the MQM-Pakistan, Mustafa Kamal said, “Whenever the MQM would say it is quitting the government, the NAB will put them behind the bars.”
“Unfortunately no democratic government has given an effective local government system to the country,” Chairman PSP lamented, adding that the PTI was calling the local government system a solution to problems when it was not in the government but now no step has been taken yet.
