KARACHI: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi interim Ameer Munim Zafar has demanded Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to address actual issues of the mega city as offering mere lip services won't mitigate its miseries.

He said that Karachiites have already been facing multiple crises since ages with no respite insight.

He said that lawlessness is the most burning issue for Karachi that has been claiming a large number of innocent lives.

Zafar said that Karachiites were promised packages and good news numerous times by various political regimes but all went in vain. Once again, he said, the premier announced a few busses but it was too little and too late.

Along with the mass transit system, water scarcity and power crises are big issues of Karachi and Karachiites, he said.
