Secretary General Jamaat-e-Islami Liaquat Baloch has hoped that political culture of Karachi would change after the upcoming local bodies' elections. Addressing a 'local bodies' convention of the party in Gadap on Sunday, he said his party would play its due role in changing prevailing system so that justice could also be dispensed to the poor and downtrodden.
He said that corruption, lawlessness, injustice, price hike, load-shedding, public transport issues and other problems have made the lives of Karachiites miserable. He urged the government to resolve the lingering issues of slum areas of Karachi including Gadap.
Baloch said it was a shame that 80 percent government schools in Gadap were closed. "There is no healthcare facility in government sector for a large poor and neglected population of the area. JI will raise these issues at every level to get them resolved," he vowed.
He said peace in Karachi would lead to progress and prosperity of Pakistan as the port city was crucial for national economy.
He urged upon the concerned authorities to take the ongoing Karachi targeted operation to its logical conclusion. He vowed that his party would help in reviving the past glory of the city. He said JI leaders such as Mayor Abdul Sattar Afghani to Niamatullah Khan had played a memorable role in development and progress of the city.
On the occasion, names of JI candidates for the coming local bodies' elections were announced.
