Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique, while coming down hard on Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leadership, said that those making long speeches and criticising others have themselves turned Sindh into ruins.
Addressing a ceremony to lay the foundation stone of construction of flats for Pakistan Railways employees here, Saad Rafique said that Sindh was looking like ruins, despite the fact that the provincial government had funds of Rs900 billion.
He said that garbage was littered everywhere in Karachi, gutters were gushing and roads were broken. He said that Karachi was facing many problems, including transport, water supply, sanitation and other such problems.
He flayed the provincial government for its failure to fix the problems. He also criticised the former Sindh chief minister Qaim Ali Shah, adding that he was not serious in initiating metro bus project and restoration of Karachi Circular Railway.
Welcoming MQM-Pakistan (MQM-P)’s decision to disown party founder Altaf Hussain, Rafique said that MQM-P leaders had been conveying their reservations to the London-based leadership, but they did not pay any heed to it which cost them.
