Point to ponder

Published January 15, 2021

ADDRESSING the Dec 27 gathering near Larkana, a politician argued vehemently for the provision of natural gas to Sindh and Balochistan on a priority because the two provinces were producing the bulk of the national reserves. It was a valid point.

What made me wonder though was the fact that the same sound logic was not being applied by the Sindh government when it came to matters related to Karachi. Why?
