KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Karachi mayor candidate Murtaza Wahab called Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) a ‘qabza group’ (encroachment mafia) who have occupied bridges and poles across Karachi, ARY News reported.
While addressing a press conference PPP’s leader Murtaza Wahab lambasted JI saying that they spent billions on LG polls but how did they get these funds? He accused JI of spending the charity funds of the Al-khidmat foundation on their election campaign.
PPP’s Karachi mayor candidate Murtaza Wahab claimed that currently, PPP is the biggest party in Karachi as they hold five national assembly seats and seven provincial assembly seats whereas Jamat-e-Islami has a half member of the provincial assembly.
He said that JI should accept their defeat as they have lost the LG polls and the Karachi mayor will be from PPP as the party holds a majority in the metropolis.
