Karachi, Tariq Chandiwala, the Chief Organizer of the Pasban Democratic Party in Karachi, has voiced severe criticism regarding the escalating lawlessness in the city, questioning the effectiveness of the local administration and the police. Chandiwala’s statements reflect deep concerns over safety and governance in Pakistan’s largest city, renowned for its diverse population and economic significance.
According to Pasban Democratic Party, Chandiwala highlighted the dire situation in Karachi, where a population exceeding 30 million is allegedly left vulnerable to rampant criminal activities. He pointed out the city’s struggle with gangs, extortion, and a lack of effective law enforcement, accusing the Sindh Assembly’s ruling parties of neglecting their responsibilities toward Karachi’s residents.
The critique extends to the perceived inaction of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and draws a disparaging comparison between Karachi and Larkana, suggesting that Karachi has been relegated to a secondary status despite its substantial contributions to the national economy. The assertion that citizens looking for work often face life-threatening risks underscores the urgency of addressing public safety and crime.
Chandiwala’s call for accountability extends to various aspects of Karachi’s governance, from police effectiveness in crime prevention to broader governmental attention to the city’s woes. The Pasban Democratic Party’s statements aim to draw attention to the need for focused and effective governance to restore safety and order in Karachi, advocating for the city’s rightful representation and interest in the provincial assembly.
