Jamaat-i-Islami Karachi chief Hafiz Naeem castigated what he said was the rule of a mafia in Sindh’s urban and rural areas.

Addressing a power show of the Grand Democratic Alliance in Jamshoro, he said a movement launched by the party would rid the people of the mafia’s control.

“Urban feudals have been imposed over Karachi. You know that the MQM-P obtained not even 100,000 genuine seats in the election and it was gifted 15 NA and 25 provincial seats. They are terrorists who deal in bodies,” he said.
