On the other hand MQM leaders and elected chairman were on the road and they said that “It’s not about the photo session, It’s all about passion & determination” even though water and sewerage department is not in our charge despite that we are working to control it with limited sources and machinery. CM Sindh is responsible for all these inconvenience of the city .

While talking to media Raza Haroon General Secretary PSP, said that both political parties have disclosed their failure before the people. It was even announced and warned many times on Media but no arrangements were made to face the challenges both the sindh government nor local government did any thing before the rain and now both are blaming each other and not taking responsibilities.
