HYDERABAD: A two-day ‘Pakistan family festival and flower exhibition’ organised by the Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) was inaugurated by the party chairman Syed Mustafa Kamal at Nursery Park in Latifabad Unit-6 on Friday evening.
Kamal said at the inauguration ceremony that Hyderabad would be beautified after his party came to power with peoples’ votes. PSP activists, who had filled the park with flowers within two days to provide free of cost entertainment to people, could transform the entire city after getting into corridors of power, he claimed.
He said that he knew people of Hyderabad did not like Pakistan Peoples Party as they had been experiencing civic issues including collapsed sewerage system, supply of contaminated drinking water, poor infrastructure of roads, health and education under a decade-long PPP rule.
He said in answer to a question about Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) that Sindh chief minister should resolve problems and provide land and monetary compensation to the people affected by possible anti-encroachment drive along KCR route so that they could build their houses without encroaching upon another piece of land.
He said that he had demolished 28,000 houses of encroachers over a nullah along the route of Lyari Expressway but each one was allotted an 80 sq-ft plot and Rs50,000 as compensation. That was why the project became a success, he said.
Several hundred people visited the park where they enjoyed food gala, book stalls, flower exhibition, play area for kids and musical night without paying any fee.
