Muttahida launches clean-up drive - Newspaper - DAWN.COM

KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Thursday launched a clean-up drive across the city with its senior leaders accusing the government of hindering the opposition party’s initiative in an attempt to frustrate it.

MQM legislators joined in with party workers in the disposal of garbage and whitewashing of walls along main roads on a day when two more leaders Wasim Aftab and Iftikhar Alam parted ways with the party. In the first phase, the drive was launched in Union Council 10 of Karachi East district, UCs 18 and 21 of Karachi Central, 16, 17 and 28 of Karachi West, 1 and 6 of Korangi, 25 of Karachi South, Kala Board UC in Malir and other parts of the city.

The drive was led by MQM’s nominated mayor Wasim Akhtar in Karachi East, deputy mayor Rehan Hashmi in Central district, Dr Farooq Sattar in South district, Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqi in the Orangi area of Karachi West and Rauf Siddiqui in Malir.

In a statement issued later in the evening, the MQM claimed to have removed garbage and trash from all the specified areas. It added that during the “Clean Karachi” drive, all trash in the six districts of the metropolis would be removed within the next few days.

The party claimed that the drive received tremendous response from students, senior citizens, the business community, professionals as people from all walks of life took part in the campaign. MQM leaders said they believed the government made every attempt to fail their clean-up campaign. “It’s so unfortunate that the drive which has received tremendous respon*se from the people of Karachi has not impressed the Sindh government to come forward and cooperate to clean the city,” said Dr Farooq Sattar at a press conference in the Kharadar area where he joined party workers to launch the drive.

“They have not provided even a single vehicle or machinery to facilitate the drive. We hired the vehicles on our own and initiated the campaign in this area from Wazir Mansion — the birthplace of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The garbage outside the birthplace of the Father of the Nation is humiliation for those who have turned this city into a garbage dump. We want to tell the authorities that we are here with the power and cooperation of people. With their support we will make this drive successful and within the next few days, you will see clean and green Karachi.”

Re: Muttahida launches clean-up drive

I think this is a way to fool people. When we have'cleanliness drives' then it clearly mean that the department responsible for cleaning is not working.
When they were in power them they should have worked with Sindh government to fix that department.

This drive is no solution at all. Things will get back to the same within a month of the department responsible is not fixed.

If MQM really thinks this is worthwhile then they did not have to wait for MK's drama to unfold to start this drive. They could have done it long time back.

So it is nothing but a way for Altaf & co. to show their subjects that they do care.

Re: Muttahida launches clean-up drive

Mqm used to do that in their earlier days. They were genuine and honest in their efforts back then. Not like this where it looks like a topi drama

Re: Muttahida launches clean-up drive

MQM has done many "hafta-e-safai" on such ground level that I dont think any party has ever done it. Like literally on the house-to-house and street-to-street level mobilizing all men, women and kids. Again that was in the good era of before it started divisions or going violent.
Wut they are doing now is more to distract everyone from the newly created group and also to keep a tab on everyone as to who is not working actively with them.

Re: Muttahida launches clean-up drive

Re: Muttahida launches clean-up drive

Agreed... Karachi is the soul of Pakistan..... But its not just MQM every party is involved but MQM are the biggest thugs, the rest are lesser of the two evils.. I saw MKs interview on Sama the SOB was defending MQM.. Its the individual workers involved in criminal activities MQM has nothing to do with it... LOL......

Re: Muttahida launches clean-up drive

That is true, MQM only trained them how to do bhatta-khori, they only gave them guns, they only get them out of jail... but everything they do is their individual act.

Yet this reminds me this funny program. :slight_smile:

Re: Muttahida launches clean-up drive

Oh really?! Next time you projectile victimhood, maybe I’ll post this everywhere you cry victim when Military does chitrol of your demigods Zardari, Son and Co.

While Pakis like you take cheap shots using the ever hypocritical forked tongue when circumstances suit the purpose, the Pakistanis suffer as bystanders and as victims of the crossfire between warring factions who’re armed to the teeth robbing their own voters blind at gunpoint, and at the ballot box.
