Earlier in the day, in what he termed “continuity of injustices against the mega city”, Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader Khalid Maqbool said that the Sindh government had once again neglected Karachi and Hyderabad in the provincial budget.
Addressing a press conference alongside Mayor Karachi Waseem Akhtar and other party leaders, the MQM leader maintained that the city which was paying the highest amount of taxes was not getting its due share in the provincial budget which was a continuity of ruling Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) policies or overlooking urban centers of the province.
