Jamaat-e-Islami’s Karachi Emir, Hafiz Naeem, strongly criticized the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) for their alleged involvement in corruption within the city’s administration. Following heavy rainfall in Karachi, which exposed infrastructural weaknesses and led to waterlogging in various areas, Naeem accused both parties of being responsible for the dire situation.

In a press conference, Naeem argued that a mere spell of rain had unveiled the inefficiencies and corruption of PPP and MQM-P in managing Karachi’s civic affairs. He compared the situation to other provinces, emphasizing that despite receiving greater amounts of rain, life goes on smoothly. Naeem pointed to the city’s drowning as evidence of PPP’s poor performance and questioned the role of Karachi Metropolitan Corporation in fulfilling its responsibilities.

The JI leader particularly targeted Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab of PPP, criticizing him for imposing taxes on citizens without delivering effective governance. Turning his attention to MQM-P, Naeem accused the party of selling its mandate to feudal lords and failing to live up to its claims of independence. He highlighted the party’s inability to address the city’s issues even with the support of multiple parties.

Describing the post-rain situation, Naeem highlighted issues such as the mixing of clean water with sewage, tripped electricity feeders, and overall infrastructure breakdown. Despite the challenges, he expressed the resolve of Jamaat-e-Islami to form a government in Sindh, emphasizing that the party is not campaigning to be part of the opposition. Naeem urged the public to vote for Jamaat-e-Islami, promising effective governance and positive change.
