MQM’s elected representatives from the District West Muhammad Hussain, Yusuf Shahwani, Saif Uddin Khalid, Kamran Akhtar and Abdullah have said that some forces are punishing the people of Karachi West for their love and support for the MQM and Mr. Hussain by stopping water supply.
They said that it was the responsibility of the government to solve issues faced by people. They added this was happening because the government was not providing resources to organizations which were responsible for maintaining civic services and water supply. The present government has failed to solve the problems faced by people. People are facing problem because of government apathy.
They strongly demanded that the government should take notice of the crisis in District West especially in Orangi Town, Qasba Aligarh, Baldia Town, Pak Colony, SITE Town and other areas. They demanded action against the elements responsible for this crisis.
They expressed these views while addressing a hurriedly called press conference which was called to inform the government about the water crisis faced in these areas.
Mr. Muhammad Hussain said that people of the area had shown their trust on Altaf Hussain and MQM in May 2013 elections. He added that MQM got four national assembly seats and seven provincial assembly seats from the areas.
He deplored that MQM’s rivals did not like the success of its candidates, who got large number of votes in the elections, in the areas. He added that MQM rivals started plan to punish the people of the area for their support to MQM and Mr. Hussain. He said they had been trying to increase the problems of the area by their repressive measures.
