KMC demolishes Edhi Foundation’s shades in Karachi
KARACHI: In his reaction over KMC’s action against Edhi Foundation shades in Karachi, chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that even the Edhi’s legacy is not secure in Naya Pakistan.
According to reports, the KMC has demolished 10 Edhi foundation’s shades across Karachi during its anti-encroachment campaign, forcing the foundation to stop ambulance service in port city.
In series of tweets, Bilawal Butto Zardari said, “I have the mandate of the people of this provinces. I hold my head in shame that we have been unable to protect the poor and the helpless from this heartless so called anti-encroachment drive. What does it say about us that not even Edhi’s legacy is secure in Naya Pakistan?”
“Those who are supposed to safeguard our rights and provide justice are unfortunately complicit in this atrocity. I’ve demanded Sindh Govt pass legislation mandating relocation, rehabilitation & compensation take place BEFORE any eviction. Also to explore all legislative options to protect Karachi’s poor & vulnerable. To protect Karachi’s cultural & historical heritage. It’s living heritage. Will also be stepping up work with all stake holders on a feasible, practical & progressive master plan for Sindh’s capital.”
