KARACHI: Pakistan Sarzameen Party (PSP) Chairman Syed Mustafa Kamal on Friday underscored the need of a 'new socio-political order' to address the lingering woes of Pakistan. Kamal said that though the British rulers left from the subcontinent back in 1947, but we are still living in slavery despite passage of 73 years after the independence of the country.
Earlier, British Viceroy used to occupy our powers and resources and now local politicians are carrying out their legacy for their own vested interests. The country can't run under these grim circumstances. "A new socio-political order is needed," Kamal said while addressing a massive public gathering organised by PSP to celebrate the 73rd Independence Day of Pakistan at 5-Star Chowrangi, North Nazimabad, Karachi.
Party president Anis Kaim Khani, members of Central Executive Committee and National Council were also flanked with the party supremo on this occasion. Kamal posed question as to how the rights of the oppressed people would be guaranteed given the fact that census in Karachi, the economic lifeline of Pakistan, is not carried out fairly and properly.
We have no differences with the state of Pakistan. We will remain loyal to it till our last breath, but, I ask conscienceless rulers to grant independence to the people from their personal slavery. Give us freedom, transfer powers and resources to the lowest level, launch the PFC Award under the pattern of the NFC Award.
After the promulgation of 18th Constitutional Amendment, instead of the districts provinces become autonomous, the Chief Ministers have become autonomous. The people are not begging for their rights but rather demanding their rights from the rulers.
He said decisions of streets and neighbourhoods of a city larger than 72 countries, cannot be made by sitting in Islamabad, or in a Chief Minister's House. Our forefathers didn't create Pakistan for these corrupt and incompetent rulers who are killing our children, young and old. Malnutrition and poverty are the order of the day while access to affordable education, employment, and healthcare etc. are almost a distant dream for a common man, infrastructure is destroyed and the city has turned into a garbage dumping yard.
When Karachi was being ruled over by us, it was the twelfth fastest growing city in the world and today it is one of the four worst liveable cities in the globe. Kamal asked people from all over the country to support PSP, vowing to make Karachi the fastest growing city and Pakistan one of the fastest growing countries of the world.
Earlier, rallies were taken out from all neighbourhoods of Karachi which passed through different parts of the city and converged into a massive gathering at Five Star Chowrangi.
