“You all have to work hard to resolve the problems of your constituencies,” the statement quoted Dr Siddiqui as saying.

“The MPAs must stay vigilant and make sure that the jobs set aside under Sindh urban quota should be offered only to the competent and deserving youngsters of Sindh cities.”

The meeting participants were also briefed about details of the recent meetings of the party leaders with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and senior officials of the Sindh government over growing street crimes in Karachi.
