KARACHI: Federal Minister for Health and Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader Syed Mustafa Kamal has said that a referendum will be held on the formation of new provinces, adding that December is a vital month for the process, ARY News reported.
Addressing party workers in District Central, Syed Mustafa Kamal said the time has come to bury the feudal, wadera, and capitalist systems.
He stated that the priorities of the state and the solutions to the basic problems of the people are now on the same page.
He remarked that oppressed people across the country are looking toward Karachi for the creation of new provinces, noting that Pakistan stands at a decisive turning point.
The federal minister alleged that opponents of new provinces want to incite clashes among the linguistic and ethnic communities of the city and the province.
He described Sindhis as oppressed people, stating that it is MQM-P’s responsibility to protect their lives, assets, and dignity, while urging Muhajirs to broaden their hearts and embrace all communities residing in Karachi.
Criticizing the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Kamal claimed the party secures only 20 percent of the total votes and does not represent the entire province of Sindh.
He further alleged that the PPP fears accurately counting Karachi’s population of 30.5 million.
