KARACHI – MQM Chairman Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui has claimed that the federal government did not take the party into confidence to remove Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori. Speaking to the media, the MQM leader said the party was being punished for raising voices for people’s rights. In April 2023, the city’s population of 16 million was reduced to 13 million, and the city’s population was reduced by 3 million. There was a need to take the government into confidence, which was lacking,” the MQM leader said. The richest city has the highest poverty rate, Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said, adding Karachi was among the emerging cities of the world in 2008 and 2009.
