Federal Minister for Education Shafqat Mahmood on Friday said the provincial government of Sindh is responsible for solving Karachi’s problems and the federal government has also decided to do whatever it can for the metropolis.
Shafqat Mahmood talked to media after visiting the mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and said Karachi is a beautiful city for which Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced a package of Rs 1,100 billion. The federal government will ensure its transparency, he added.
The federal minister said, “It is very important that the issues of drinking water and drainage system in Karachi are resolved. Pakistan has been badly affected by corruption and the country can no longer afford the existence of this evil.” Talking about the motorway rape incident, Shafqat Mahmood said the government will try its best to bring the responsible persons to logical conclusion. The entire cabinet and party are on same page over the matter and support punishment for the offenders as per the law. The minister also urged people to continue following the coronavirus precautions as Mazar-e-Quaid has been reopened for the visitors today.
