Sindh government has arranged tea for the entire Karachi, Ramiz Raja said.

KARACHI (Dunya News) – Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja took a dig at the Sindh government after rains wreaked havoc in Karachi and streets were inundated with water of downpours, Dunya News reported on Wednesday.

The erstwhile skipper shared picture of a submerged area on Twitter and wrote, “Sindh government has arranged tea for the entire Karachi.” Ramiz Raja made such a comment as the color of the rainwater was quite similar to that of tea.

Earlier, former captain Wasim Akram had also said that his heart goes out to all affected after seeing the footage of Karachi underwater.

“I can’t say I’m not surprised that this has happened yet again. A wake up call? No it’s a problem that needs to be addressed period! We need to fix our beautiful city.”

“I tweeted because I am seeing videos of full gutters in Defence, flooded roads of Gulistan-e-jauhar, PECHS & Baldia & a city being destroyed by rain yet again. I have no political agenda whatsoever. I am just a citizen of Pakistan & care for the welfare of people in my hometown.”

“The people of Pakistan should be able to celebrate the rain, not mourn over it! Mix my words however you like but too many people suffer every year because of this problem, and that is what kills me.”
