Memon slams MQM-P, says party relying on ‘baseless allegations’ to stay relevant

• MQM-P politics based on slogans, accusations, says Sharjeel Memon, rejecting the party’s criticism

• Cites Karachi development projects, saying MQM-P trying to revive politics through outdated narratives

• Describes Karachi development undeniable reality, not propaganda, defending Sindh govt projects

 KARACHI: Senior Sindh Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, reacting to the press conference of the MQM-Pakistan leadership, said on Sunday that the party was unsuccessfully attempting to keep its politics alive through “what he described” as baseless allegations and outdated narratives.

He said MQM’s politics had long revolved around slogans, accusations and “manufacturing crises,” adding that the same pattern was being repeated even today.

In a statement, the Senior Sindh Minister and Provincial Minister for Information, Transport and Mass Transit said MQM itself had previously made provincial autonomy, constitutional powers and the local government system controversial.

He said ongoing development projects in Karachi were undeniable ground realities that could not be overshadowed by propaganda. He cited the Yellow Line, Shahrah-e-Bhutto and other development initiatives as clear evidence that the Sindh government believes in practical work and tangible progress.

Memon said that if any legal or administrative issue related to a public place exists, it should be resolved through courts and relevant institutions in accordance with the law.

He expressed regret that elements which, according to him, contributed to Karachi’s problems through failed governance and vested interests for years were once again attempting to project themselves as saviours.

The senior minister said the Sindh government had not only devolved powers to local bodies but had also provided them with financial resources and legal backing.

He stressed that Karachi was not the domain of any single political party but the economic hub of Pakistan.

He added that those who consistently criticise development initiatives as a political strategy were, in effect, exposing their own political decline.
