Chairman Businessmen Group (BMG) & Former President KCCI Siraj Kassam Teli and President Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) Agha Shahab Ahmed Khan have appealed Prime Minister Imran Khan to immediately intervene and take strictest notice of the widespread protests and sit-ins being carried out by every single citizen of Karachi and all the political parties even PTI MNAs/ MPAs who have been strongly protesting against K-Electric (KE) as the utility service provider continues to carry out intense load shedding all over Karachi whereas the Federal Minister for Energy Omar Ayub Khan, while totally disowning Karachi, says KE’s electricity issue is not his responsibility which is a really worrisome statement hence the PM must take immediate notice.
If PTI-led government fails to act against KE then, the entire business & industrial community of Karachi would like to request the honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan to please intervene in this serious matter by taking sou motu notice in order to provide relief to the perturbed citizens of Karachi who have been going through awful situation caused not only by KE but also by federal and provincial governments who are equally responsible for their inability to ensure relief to Karachi.
It is really unfortunate that nobody owns Karachi but everybody wants to squeeze 70 percent revenue from this city to run the entire country, Siraj Teli and Agha Shahab added in a statement issued on Wednesday.
