KARACHI   -   Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Emir Hafiz Naeemur Rehman on Monday slammed the Sindh government for continuously neglecting Karachi. The JI emir made these remarks in a press conference in Karachi where he accused the Sindh government of extracting all resources from Karachi and giving  nothing in return. He criticised the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) led provincial government for destroying Karachi to the hilt despite being in power for sixteen years, adding  that the JI mandate was stolen in the local government elections. He said that the PPP government had not sublet the powers, adding that all those parties ruling in Karachi were responsible for its miserable situation.

Speaking about inflated power bills and discrimination meted out to smaller provinces in the electricity bills, the JI emir said that the Independent Power  Producers (IPPs) brought the country on the cusp of danger, adding that former PM Nawaz Sharif announced reduction in power bills alongside his daughter as  if he was giving it as a charity.
