Summary In the past people used to lead movements for rights, now they are raising campaigns for waste
KARACHI: (Dunya News) – People are sick and tired of listening to the rubbish of the political leaders as the waste and rubbish in the provincial capital gains political prominence. In the past we used to see movements for rights but things have boiled down to a point where movements are being led to remove the waste in Karachi, reported Dunya News.
While we see some experienced politics with brooms in their hands to earn votes, there are sportsmen now picking up waste to gain political prominence. To gain votes through this technique, even the political slogans have transformed.
Although Karachi’s waste management problem is here for decades but it gained popularity recently when a youngster named Alamgir Khan started putting lids on the open gutters in the city.
How could the new mayor of Karachi stay behind in this contest? He immediately announced a 100-day cleanliness campaign in the city. But instead of the city being cleared of waste, the mayor had to clarify his own statement.
And now Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has smelled Karachi’s waste in Islamabad. He came here thus on a two-day visit to examine the situation in the city.
It is yet to be seen though what the League governor and PTI chairman would be able to make out of this waste after the ministers from Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) dealings with the Chinese waste management company and Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s 100-day cleanliness campaign.
