MQM-P leader Farooq Sattar has called for empowered districts and cities, saying that they will be the reason for a safer Pakistan.

“Why does a prime minister have to declare that the government and establishment are on the same page?” he asked during a National Assembly session today. “We want answers to this. The condition of Pakistan has not changed for 15 years.”

Sattar congratulated all the politicians for being elected to the House and stressed that political stability was imperative for economic stability.
