There’s an across the board accountability in Karachi at the moment, something that no government, whether civilian or military, was able to do in the past―Nizami

Pakistan Today (PT) Editor Arif Nizami said on Wednesday that Murad Ali Shah’s appointment as the new chief minister of Sindh is a “change for the better”. He is well educated, young, and his attention span must be better, he said.

Nizami said on his talk show DNA on Channel 24, that Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM)’s nominated mayor of Karachi, Waseem Akhtar’s alleged confession of giving firing orders that set off the carnage witnessed in Karachi on May 12, 2007 was taken under duress.

“Apprehending the nominated mayor of Karachi is not something to be taken lightly. There’s an across the board accountability in Karachi at the moment, something that no government, whether civilian or military, was able to do in the past,” Nizami commented about the improving law and order situation in the metropolis.

Nizami said that according to information available with him, Advisor to Sindh CM on Information Maula Bux Chandio (who appeared on DNA two days ago) may also be replaced in the coming days.

Nizami said that poverty is a problem for the entire country, but the poverty in rural Sindh barely has any comparison with anywhere else in Pakistan. The people there are being pummelled by a two-pronged affliction of acute poverty on one hand and the iron grip of the feudal lords or ‘vaderas’ on the other, said the PT editor.

  1. Mr Nazami has started counting chickens before they are actually hatched. Only perfomance over time will tell whether the new setup is better, worse or just the same.
