The federal minister said taking a jibe at Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, “I ask the slip chairman how many markets he visited in Karachi. How often your chief minister visited the markets.” He said, “You have left the people of Sindh at the mercy of the mafia, the prices of food items are high in Sindh.” Farrukh Habib said, “You should give relief to the people of Sindh instead of politics, you have left the people of Karachi at the mercy of tanker mafia.”
