KARACHI (Dunya News) - Sindh government spokesperson Sadia Javed has criticised the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) over its demands for resignations, saying that those benefiting from federal ministries should first put their own house in order before raising such demands.
In a statement, Sadia Javed said the dust blowing from Karachi to Kashmore was not related to development issues but was the result of MQM's past politics. She accused the party of undermining Karachi's master plan in the past and questioned its criticism of ongoing development projects.
Referring to concerns raised by federal ministers over University Road, she asked how much funding they had provided to Karachi in billions of rupees.
The Sindh government spokesperson also described MQM's demand for new provinces as a reflection of its political difficulties. She said those advocating the division of Sindh had themselves split into numerous factions.
Javed further alleged that an account of Rs300 billion from Mustafa Kamal's tenure remained missing from Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) records. She challenged MQM leaders to visit their constituencies and face the public instead of holding frequent press conferences.
She added that the opposition's attempt to create political drama while remaining part of the corridors of power had lost its appeal.
The statement comes amid renewed political exchanges between the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and MQM-P over governance, development projects, resignations and the issue of new provinces in Sindh.
