PML-N Sindh Vice President Ali Akbar Gujjar is the head of the committee while the party’s Karachi division secretary general, Nasiruddin Mehmood, is the secretary of the committee. Other members of the committee include PML-N Karachi President Engineer Salman Khan, senior party leader Syed Munawar Raza, Karachi Deputy General Secretary Habib-ur-Rehman, District East President Nadeem Akhtar Arain, District Korangi President Ali Ashiq Gujjar, District Malir President Muhammad Feroz Khan, District South President Sultan Bahadur Khan, District Keamari President Haji Salehin Tanoli, District West President Imtiaz Ahmad Khan, District Central President Muhammad Aslam Khattak Advocate and Muslim League House Incharge Syed Nisar Shah.
