THE PPP displayed its political might in Karachi on Oct 18. The public rally venue was Bagh-i-jinnah, Karachi. This is a dusty ground with lots of stones and debris spread all over the ground.

The Sindh government and the Karachi administration came into action to prepare the venue. The Sindh government utilised all the resources to organise the rally.

The health and hygiene situation in Karachi is deplorable.

Major government-run hospitals need urgent attention. There is no proper place to dispose of garbage bags.

That is why we find garbage dumps everywhere. Karachi is facing severe water shortage, while there is also scarcity of drinking water.

I advise the Sindh government to stop serving its political masters and serve the people who pay taxes and vote for it.
