KARACHI: Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) chief Mustafa Kamal on Thursday said that the Sindh government is fomenting ethnic discord in the city.

Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader and Sindh Assembly member Shiraz Waheed has joined Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP).

Shiraz Waheed held a press conference at Pakistan House, PSP headquarters, with PSP Chief Mustafa Kamal and formally announced joining PSP.

Expressing his views in the presser, Mustafa Kamal said officials of Sindh government castigate him and use filthy language against him instead of answering his questions. He said PSP is raising Karachi’s issues and not making personal attacks on others.

PSP chief further added that MQM-P has 17 National Assembly members (MNAs) and 36 Provincial Assembly members (MPAs) despite their sizeable presence in the both houses Sindh government is easily looting and plundering Karachi. Kamal thanked the people of Karachi for supporting PSP’s December 24 rally.

He claimed the population of Karachi and Hyderabad has been undercounted in the latest census by seven million.

Addressing the chief minister, he said: “you have conveniently ignored the undercounting in the census since the people of both the cities are not from your community.” “You’re not giving them water either. We’re talking about issues [yet you claim this is political],” he stated.

Kamal said he will not incite hatred on ethnic grounds, but “this is what the Sindh government is doing.”

Welcoming the MQM lawmaker, Kamal said our doors will never be shut on our brothers. The PSP chief said we are continuously speaking the truth and truth alone, which is why people like Sheeraz Bhai continue to join our ranks.—INP
