Perwani also pointed out advancements in India’s urban systems, noting that even rickshaw drivers use Uber and street vendors accept digital payments. He contrasted this with Karachi, criticizing its poor pedestrian facilities and lack of infrastructure.
His remarks split public opinion. Critics called him unpatriotic, with one user saying, “He should move to India if he likes it so much.” Others defended his observations, emphasizing the importance of constructive criticism for Pakistan’s progress.
Perwani concluded by urging Pakistan to improve its infrastructure and quality of life to match global standards, sparking a broader conversation about development in the region.
