Karachi Political Diary

 Karachi Political Diary

Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, was targeted by terrorism and a suicide blast took place at the Quetta railway station. It becomes easy for terrorists to target such places where people rush. This terrorism has mourned the whole country. IG Police Railways has given orders for security alert at all railway stations of the country. By the way, there is a security alert situation in Pakistan all the time and the entire nation should work together to deal with terrorists. The National Action Program should be completed in any case. No city of Pakistan is out of their target and neither does the terrorist see who has what creed,cast, color and race.

Pakistan is facing challenges like terrorism, extremism and separatism, for that, efforts should be made to control the situation politically. The path to recovery of Pakistan's economy can be fully paved only when the path of political stability is adopted.

Chinese residents have been attacked once again in the city of Karachi. This is the most worrying thing, the country that is investing in Pakistan is being targeted by terrorists. The conversation between the Deputy Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister at an event in Islamabad was considered offensive by the Chinese ambassador and reacted to it at the same time. Government ministers should have a careful discussion in this regard.

The supplementary stages of local body elections in Sindh will be completed on November 14. The number of polling stations for ten local body seats in Karachi has been set at 167. Jamaat-e-Islami leadership has alleged that the provincial government is making arrangements for pre-poll rigging. Transparency should be taken into account in this regard.

Door-to-door election campaign is conducted in the election for representation in the local bodies. People take a lot of interest in it, so they also have a close look at the results of this election. If any irregularity is noticed in it, it is pointed out immediately. The people of Karachi still remember the drama of the Mayor Karachi election. Therefore, the administration should not take any action that would further undermine the credibility of the election.

Tehreek-e-Insaaf leaders held a press conference at the Karachi Press Club and expressed their concerns that there were problems in the coverage of the press conference they hold at the Insaf House. So now we have chosen Karachi Press Club. We hope that this time there will be no attempt to stop our coverage in the media.

It is very worrisome and a threat to democracy that a political party raises the question that its news is being forcibly withheld. Media institutions have always faced difficulties but efforts are made to overcome these difficulties in some way.  what has been done here should not be ignored.

After the 26th constitutional amendment, constitutional benches are being created in the high courts of the country. The resolution was passed in the Sindh Assembly and the work of making the constitutional bench active has started, but the question has been raised regarding several cases of the Sindh High Court that the process of the cases that will be transferred to the constitutional bench has not been completed yet. The cases are seeking transfer to the Constitution Bench. During the hearing of the case against the Board of Revenue, the lawyer had also raised the objection. The cases that are to be transferred to the Constitution Bench should be determined immediately, along with this, it is also of interest that the 26th Constitutional Amendment has been challenged in the High Courts and how it will be heard in the Constitution Bench itself. An amendment against him may be heard in the Full Court.

Regarding the retired employees, their problems are increasing while unemployment has already increased to a great extent, the retired employees who have been serving in federal institutions were allotted houses in Karachi, now the government  wants to get back from them, the MQM leadership has expressed concerns that in this way senior citizens will become homeless. Pakistan lacks a coherent and fair policy on government transport and accommodation. Therefore, the use of these two facilities is wrong and problems also arise. In this regard, the policy should be fair.

New records  have been established in the stock exchange. Now it seems that this index will cross the psychological limit of 100,000. It should be hoped that this will have a positive impact on the country's economy, which has not yet come.
