All promised made the by PTI and the PPP have turned out to be a hoax and one of the mythical stories of a gigantic hero who tries not to do away with injustice, sectors’ unfairness and preferential treatment at government offices. When it comes to the working of the PPP, Karachiiiets are not happy with the PPP government due to its nepotism and selective approach in governmental sectors. The recent announcement of the recruitment of more than 50,000 government posts in Sindh have brought a sigh of relief for the urban youths after the government’s initiative that the Sukkur IBA University will conduct test for the first phase of public employment and anyone who passes the test will be eligible for job in the government department. But people from Karachi are unhappy due to the long traveling to Sukkur since this city is 500 km from Karachi. This government decision is a “Dead end to the Dead” because of the shortage of government jobs and prevailing quota system in the province for the last forty years. According to MQM-P legislators, the government is issuing domicile certificates to non-residents of Karachi If we see Karachi right now, apparently it is peaceful, after seeing a non-stop bloodshed for 35 years in the name of ethnicity. Now, sports galas, literary festivals and other recreational festivities and venues have returned to the city, but the air of hopelessness is still prevailing in the city. Conspiracies have begun to making rounds about nepotism in some government policies. They say that the peace found in this city is temporary and it is also a fact that unemployment among urban youths has made them indignant and lawless. They argue that to handle this situation, the government should own the city and give its youth a sense of belongingness and give them a large number of jobs making them realized that what their leader Altaf Hussain did not give them, this government will give them. If I see the people from the middle-class families in Karachi, they are also disappointed for not given their rights. MQM central leader Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui says that Bilawal Bhutto’s offer to join the Sindh the government was not accepted by its supporters and voters. It is a matter of great concern that in the current political situation, the MQM had to make such a big decision. According to prominent intellectual Nusrat Mirza, people’s rights are never granted without a struggle for them. This was a golden opportunity for MQM voters as by going into coalition with the PPP, some rights could have been achieved better. The MQM braved the worst operation of 1992, but 2016 operation proved detrimental to it as all the heinous criminals from each and over the corner of Karachi and other parts of Sindh were taken away. Educated people say the current operation is fair which took all the bad people and put them in jail. For 40 years, the KMC, which is the largest Karachi-based corporation, has now taken direct responsibility for the repair and construction of sewer lines in Karachi. The provincial government and the chief minister are directly responsible for the construction of sewer lines in Karachi. Earlier, Sindh Minister for Information Syed Nasir Hussain Shah declared that the Sindh cabinet has devised a new methodology for recruiting the vacant jobs in the provincial government departments. According to him, vacant posts of grade one to four would be filled through district recruitment committees, headed by the respective deputy commissioner, while the vacant posts of grade 5 to grade 15 would be filled through IBA-based test purely on merit for which advertisements would soon be given in local newspapers. According to MQM-P legislators, the government is issuing domicile certificates to non-residents of Karachi and depriving the people of the city of government employments as they proclaimed that domicile certificates and permanent residence certificates (PRCs) should not be issued to non-residents because it is the right of the locals to apply for government jobs. It is also said that non-residents manage to get government jobs and admissions to professional colleges and universities on the urban quota on the basis of fake domicile certificates and PRCs depriving the locals of government jobs and admissions to professional educational institutions. According to the Constitution of Pakistan and Civil Servants Rules only local domicile holders may be recruited in the district for the grade one to 15. The writer is a correspondent, Daily Times
