Sixteen demands to benefit Karachi citizens: Mustafa Kamal

KARACHI: Pak Sarzameen Party Chairman Mustafa Kamal announced on Sunday to invite all stakeholders, including religious scholars, the civil society and the business community, to discuss the 16 demands proposed by his party.

The PSP chairman said this while talking to the media after meeting Mufti Naeemur Rehman at the Jamia Binoria in the S.I.T.E area.

Accompanying PSP leader Anees Qaimkhani, Kamal said that he had been peacefully struggling for the rights of the city’s residents for a year and had not even hurled a stone at anyone. “The demands for which we have been protesting for 18 days are not for our personal interests, or for one particular group, or for our party; the demands, if met, will benefit common citizens of Karachi,” he said.

“Before the PSP, there was one party which was the representative of the Urdu speaking people and which remained a part of the government but the city’s issues remained,” said the PSP leader while clearly hinting towards the Muttahida Qaumi Movement.

Kamal claimed that the mandate given by the people was traded for personal interests. He also criticised the Pakistan People’s Party, saying that the party was given a clean chit to do whatever it wanted in the city.

On the occasion, Mufti Naeem announced support for PSP’s million march, and suggested that Mustafa Kamal and MQM-P Convener Farooq Sattar join hands.
