Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Chairman Syed Mustafa Kamal on Sunday said Pakistan is going through a constitutional crisis as the PTI-led Federal government seems utterly failed to meet the public expectations.
Prime Minister Imran Khan promised a package of Rs162 billion for Karachi and the seriousness of PM can be gauged from the fact that not even 162 rupees have been released for the port city, Kamal said while addressing a press conference here at PSP head office.
Imran Khan is not the Prime Minister of PTI but the PM of the entire country. Khan was ready to talk to his Indian counterpart Modi, but doesn't bothered to have meeting with the Sindh Chief Minister for resolution of issues faced by the people of the 2nd largest province by population of the country. Today, all institutions are with the PTI government, but the government itself seems nowhere.
Kamal said people are dying in Sindh, its infrastructure is destroyed due to apathy poor policies of the government. The country cannot be run merely on the prime minister's mood.
We have no sympathy with the CM Sindh, but the PM has to speak to him for the sake of the people because after the 18th Amendment, not a single penny can be spent in Sindh without the consent of the provincial government, everything is in the hands of the CM, he said.
"If I had been there in PM's place, I would have bowed down to my opponents for the sake of my people to work together for my country," he added. A big hope was associated with PTI government, but it has failed to meet the expectations of people as their expectations turned into disappointment in just one year.
Current and former governments have failed to understand that solving the problems of the people is a matter of time. "If we have the opportunity, we will evolve policies for developing new cities and remove problems of the country," he said.
In order to generate employment and business activities, we would establish new industrial zones. On this occasion, President PSP Anis Kaim Khani and other office bearers were also present.
Karachi has become one of the 4th worst cities in the world. People are dying from dog bites, wastewater, AIDS, dengue, electrocutions and other causes. Jobs are not available for the youth. No Chief Minister should have the authority to pick up the trash. The local bodies system should be empowered for the very purpose.
