KARACHI: Amidst rising concerns over street crime in Karachi, Muttahida Qaumi Movement – Pakistan (MQM-P) decided to establish communication with the federal government to address the issue, ARY News reported on Sunday.
In a move to address the escalating street crimes in Karachi, MQM-P’s Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui chaired a meeting comprising members of the National and Provincial Assembly, along with Mustafa Kamal, Farooq Sattar, Anees Qaimkhani, and Central Committee.
Expressing grave concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in Sindh, particularly in Karachi, the meeting members criticized the performance of Sindh government, alleging a lack of concern for safeguarding people’s lives and property.

On the other hand, the meeting concluded with the decision to form a monitoring committee comprising assembly members to oversee development projects in the region.
