Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has called on Karachi’s business community to directly address their grievances with him rather than complaining to others, asserting that Sindh remains under PPP’s stewardship.
Speaking at an event held in honour of Karachi’s traders, Bilawal assured them of his full support in resolving their challenges.
“If you have complaints against the Chief Minister, ministers, or bureaucrats, bring them to me. There’s no need to seek resolution elsewhere,” he said.
Bilawal spoke about the port city’s transformation, stating that the days of extortion and forced closures of industries are over.
“What Karachi experienced in the past is history. Businesses now operate without fear, and labourers are no longer coerced into political rallies,” he added.
Addressing traders directly, he questioned, “Have I ever caused you trouble? Why would I want you to face issues under my or this government’s name?”
Bilawal criticised the federal government for excluding Sindh in key policy decisions, especially in energy tariffs and electricity supply.
“Decisions are made in Islamabad without consulting us, leaving provinces to bear the consequences,” he stated.
He emphasised Sindh’s potential as an energy hub, pointing to its vast coal reserves. “Sindh has as much coal as Saudi Arabia has oil. We demand affordable electricity for all,” he said.
