A large number of area residents along with their families, whereas delegations from adjoining areas and representatives of the business community also participated in the demonstration. The protestors, carrying placards and banners, chanted slogans against the PPP government in Sindh and its aide the Muttahida Qaumi Movement. Engr Naeemur Rehman announced that the JI will stage a big protest demonstration to announce its next course of action, if the government fails to kick off the reconstruction work in near future, announced.

He further said that tax payers in Karachi submit their taxes for development and progress of the city and the country and not to quench the endless greed of the ruling parties.
