The governor of Sindh, Kamran Khan Tessori, responded to the declaration made by the mayor of Karachi Murtaza Wahab, saying that his objective during Ramadan is entirely on the service of the public, in particular during the times of Sehri and Iftar.
In his remarks, Tessori stressed that his dedication to community service during the sacred month of Ramadan leaves him time for something else, especially after Sehri.
The Governor of Sindh shared that he had the privilege of welcoming Iftar for the general consuls of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Oman, Turkiye, Malaysia, Russia and Bangladesh, and also had the honor of offering IFTAR to 10,000 people at the Governor’s House.
He expressed that while serving the public, he also gains spiritual merit, stressing that he provides daily gifts such as residential plots, Omra tickets, motorcycles and phones, in addition to distributing Sehri in various places.
Tessori also responded to criticism, advising them to focus on improvements rather than jealousy on love and support he received from the people.
He stressed that this Ramadan, he had demonstrated his commitment to all citizens, with people from all walks of life – be it the Muhajirs, the Sindhis, the Punjabis, Baloutch or Pachtounes – considering him a brother and a son.
He concluded by encouraging others to gain hearts through service, stressing that it is the real measure of success, rather than desire for popular support.
The mayor criticizes the governor “to focus on the Iftar and Sehri parties”
The mayor of Karachi, lawyer Murtaza Wahab, urged the Prime Minister of Pakistan to honor his promises concerning the development of Karachi, while calling the MQM to clarify his position on the powers of the local government. Wahab said he had received a response from Governor Sindh Kamran Khan Tesori and will respond soon.
During the inauguration of development projects near the Machi Miani market, Wahab stressed the importance of the old town region as a Karachi foundation, and assured that municipal problems, in particular the blocked sanitation system, were resolved. He criticized the governor to focus on the Iftar and Sehri parties instead of solving Karachi’s problems and called for the release of RS100 billion promised for the development of the city.
Wahab has also criticized MQM for its unclear position on local governance, noting that if the party had previously supported basic governance, it has now recommended that Pidcl takes control of KMC responsibilities. He mentioned continuous efforts to resolve Karachi shortage and water development projects on the Keamari and Lyari fish market, declaring that no obstacle to development would be tolerated.
