Lashing out at rivals, Kamal said political parties that won seats from the port city are unable to discern the issues facing the metropolis. The deprivations that Karachi faces today had never been witnessed in the past, he added.

He said Karachi has no voice today as people present in Parliament have failed to raise the issues plaguing the city.
