MQM-P protests insufficient funds for Karachi in Sindh budget

The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan may expand its protest against allocation of insufficient funds for Karachi in the Sindh budget, party leader Kunwar Naveed Jamil said Saturday.

He was speaking to reporters at the party’s sit-in camp in
Karachi. The MQM-P has been staging a protest sit-in outside the Sindh
Assembly.

Jamil accused the Sindh government of discriminating against
Karachi. He questioned the allocation of only 11% funds for Karachi.

“The provincial government collects taxes from urban
areas, but it gets extremely difficult for them to spend this money on
cities,” he said.

The MQM-P leader lamented that the provincial government has
not rolled out any new development scheme in Karachi over the past several
years.

He warned that his party could expand its protest if their
demands were not met.
