Pakistan People’s Party, Mutahidda Qaumi Movement and Awami National Party cannot find a way out of the anarchy in Karachi because their armed wings are the cause of the anarchy and only a neutral governor rule under a powerful administration can restore peace and stability in the city, Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan said while addressing a press conference at a local hotel in which renowned columnist Farooque Alam Insari announced to join the PTI.
Khan said if the May 12 incident had been handled sensibly and all those responsible were punished on time, Karachi would have been a different city now, adding that major responsibility of the present situation was on the MQM’s shoulders followed by the PP and ANP since all these parties were the forerunners in organising and funding land and bhatta mafias. He said the statements of Zulfiqar Mirza should be taken very seriously because he, being the former interior minister of Sindh, was a close aide of President Asif Ali Zardari, adding that the allegations made were directly related to the integrity and stability of the country and the president, prime minister and Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik should step down but they were so shameless that they were busy looting the country to amass more wealth abroad.
He said where the PPP government had doubled the foreign debt within three years, the PML-N government in Punjab had failed to maintain law and order in the province. He said 11,000 citizens had been kidnapped during the current year including the son of former Governor Salman Taseer while only 700 were recorded kidnapped in 2009.
He said the tsunami of the youth of Pakistan from the platform of PTI would soon wipe out these corrupt and inefficient rulers, adding that the PPP and PML-N’s true worth would be exposed in the next election. He also announced a public rally in Gujranwala and hoped it would be the largest in the history of the city.
