The provincial information minister said that all the problems need a lot of resources. Prime Minister Imran Khan is also aware of this. The loan has been taken from the World Bank for Karachi only. Ten thousand million dollars is needed to solve the problems of Karachi.
Speaking during the program, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) provincial leader Khurrum Sher Zaman said that the provincial information minister Nasir Hussain Shah talked about $10,000 million for Karachi which is laughable. He said that Sindh government only needs money.
