KARACHI: (HRNW) Federal Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar on Sunday accused the Sindh government of creating obstacles in Centre-funded development projects in Karachi.
Addressing a gathering after inaugurating a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) office in Karachi’s Shah Faisal Colony, Asad Umar said that Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah did not consider Karachi as his own.
Despite the obstacles, the federal government will continue the development projects in the metropolis, he added. The minister said that upcoming local body elections will be held under a new system in the metropolis, adding that elected members of Karachi should not be left at the mercy of the provincial government.
“The local body system in Sindh does not meet the spirit of the Constitution. The local government should have all the powers but that’s not the case in Karachi,” he added.
