Pakistan Day was celebrated with national spirit, due to Ramadan, a large number of people could not organize events, so the events of Pakistan Day were commemorated with national spirit and spirituality. In Rawalpindi, the biggest event was the parade of the Pakistan Army. No ceremony was organized at the official level in this regard in the provincial capital of Sindh , Kaeachi. However, other federal ministers visited Mazar-e-Quaid during their visit to Karachi and paid tribute to the services of the founder of Pakistan.

The Federal Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Federal Minister of Commerce visited the Mazar-e-Quaid and expressed their determination to overcome the difficulties while mentioning the obstacles in the economic development of Pakistan. They said that the federal ministers are working without salary but No one has announced to reduce their privileges. Federal ministers have more perks than their salaries.

On Pakistan Day, we need the same spirit that existed at the time of the establishment of Pakistan, especially for the awakening of this spirit among the youth, it is very important to establish a society based on justice in the country. No country can achieve stability until there is a strong bond between its citizens and the state. It is not possible without establishing justice in the society.

The city of Karachi is currently under the brunt of street crimes. This year, at least 45 people have been killed in robbery incidents for the slightest resistance. Apart from this, other incidents have made the life of the people haram. The new IG Police of Sindh province has been appointed, Ghulam Nabi Memon has been the IG Police before. He has to face the challenge of street crimes in Karachi and Riverine bandits (Kachay kay Daku) in Sindh. It is to be seen how they deal with it before their claims of success have not proved true.

On the occasion of World Water Day, the organization of Karachi Water and Sewerage Board made loud claims that the organization  is determined to provide the best service to the city of Karachi. Karachi Water and Sewerage Board, despite being a large organization, is lagging behind in performance. KW&SB fails to control the Water Tanker mafia. Waste water in the city is being dumped into the sea without treatment. Karachi's coastline has been polluted for several miles, which poses threats to aquatic life, while the mangrove forest on the seashore is being destroyed.

The Water Board has to take urgent measures to tackle these challenges as pollution, climate change impacts. Karachi Water and Sewerage Board should work on water vision keeping in mind the future needs and present a plan for at least the next fifteen years because the situation regarding the environment has become very bad and also provide water to the public at low rates. Not happening.

The important member of the United States Foreign Office who is in charge of South Asian affairs, Mr. Donald LU, who is being named a lot in Pakistani politics regarding the cipher case. On March 20, he appeared before a subcommittee of the US Congress and answered questions from representatives regarding democracy and elections in Pakistan, an event that resonated around the world. Mian Raza Rabbani, a senior leader of the People's Party and former chairman of the Senate, has strongly criticized this. He has termed it as interference in Pakistani politics. It is a very good and courageous thing that the senior leader of the People's Party has termed the holding of the session of the American representatives on Pakistan as an interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan, otherwise the interference in the Cipher issue would not have been accepted by PPP. Of course, no country in the world has the right for its representatives to say that there should be an investigation into Pakistan's elections.

When the issue of cipher was raised by Tehreek-e-Insaf, at that time the opposition, which included the People's Party, said that no such incident happened and that the Head of Tehreek-e-Insaf was spoiling relations with a friendly country. After discussing Pakistan's issues in the committee, Pakistan's foreign office should express its concerns, to the officials of the American embassy . Although Donald LU has rejected the American role in bringing down the Tehreek-e-Insaf government, then what is the significance of the cipher case in Pakistan? But the Supreme Court did not hear about it. The Security Committee had also made a demarche. It should have been investigated in the light of all these incidents, but it did not happen.

For political stability across the country, it is necessary that all the political cases that have been registered in the past years should be trialed in the court on a daily basis and immediate decisions should be issued on them.  After the agreement with the IMF, the inflationary situation will become very serious and food items will become more difficult for the people to obtain.

Senate election date is April 2. MQM is divided over Faisal Vawda, MQM's Aamir Chishti, who owns a hospital and a medical college, is very important in party circles. He has more members in his favor while Najib Haroon's nomination papers have been rejected due to bank default. Najeeb Haroon is a renowned builder, an engineer by profession. He has been a Member of Assembly of Tehreek-e-Insaaf, he announced his disaffiliation from PTI, he also has a construction company, he joined MQM.

The Chief Ministers of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have not yet visited Karachi to pay a visit to Mazar-e-Quaid. On the occasion of Pakistan Day, there was a great opportunity that the Prime Minister of Pakistan would hold a meeting of the Federal Cabinet in Karachi and invite all the four Chief Ministers to participate. But that didn't happen, but the idea can still be worked on. The concept of the federation and the provinces working together can be strengthened. For this, it is the Prime minister's responsibility to create such an environment that political harmony can be created.
