Karachi (HRNW) The MQM has challenged the creation of District Keamari in the Sindh High Court. It says Karachi’s seventh district has been created illegally.
It has asked to be made party to PTI MNA Aamir Liaquat’s petition against the creation of the district. Liaquat’s petition was filed on August 24.
The MQM argues that both District Keamari and DMC Keamari’s creation is illegal because a population census was not carried out before their creation.
The party claims the Sindh government’s decision was political, not administrative.
According to revenue laws, before the creation of a new district a public hearing must be held and this was not done, argued the MQM lawyer. In fact, public opinion on the matter was not sought at all.
The final list of the 2018 population census hasn’t been issued yet so until it is, this move is illegal and unconstitutional, the MQM has said.
