Karachi Apr 16: Nazim Karachi Syed Mustafa Kamal has said that only strong provinces can be the real guarantee for strong Pakistan. No change can occur in country without eliminating feudal system and giving provincial autonomy. 40 families are ruling the country since last 60 years. Now it is up to the youth especially university students to correct the corrupt and ailing political system in Pakistan. In this way they would play their role in the progress and stability of their homeland.
He expressed these views while addressing a seminar held at the Institute of Business Administration (IBA) on Thursday. Director IBA Dr. Ishrat Hussain and Dr. Humayun Ansari also addressed the seminar on the subject of “Problems and their solution”
Nazim Karachi on this occasion said that during last 60 years no serious attempts were made to solve the problems faced by Pakistan. However, the time has come to do right decisions as the country can no longer afford wrong decisions.
He said that instead of closing our eyes we should accept the challenges and try to solve them. The administration of Karachi was held by Haq Parasts during last three and half years and we not only identified the problems and challenges but also made serious attempts to solve them and we have succeeded in this.
Nazim Karachi said that we did not need any publicity for what we did in Karachi as our works are self explanatory and more if compared to total works that have been done in last 60 years.
He said that in order to go ahead with the world and to get among the developed societies we must have to solve the most difficult and hard problems. We have already sent a positive message to whole world by developing Karachi as a model mega city and this model can present Pakistan as a beautiful and well developed country.
Nazim Karachi further said that unfortunately this is the same 40 families which have been ruling the country since last 60 years. 98 percent people are only giving their votes while the feudal and capitalist ruling the country generation after generation.
He said that only our youth can give progress and stability to Pakistan especially those who belong to educated middle class can play best role in changing the old and sick political system.
City Nazim said that till today Karachi had no master plan till today but now we prepare its first master plan and made it approve. All development works are now done according to this document including construction of roads and bridges and lying of water and sewerage lines in residential and commercial areas of the city.
He however said that the city cannot be run properly in the presence of 13 different controllers who have set up the borders even within the limits of the city.
Nazim Karachi said that the world has acknowledged the progress happened in Karachi during last three and half years as a model progress. More than 300 billion rupees were spent in Karachi on development works during last three and half years and now it is up to the citizens itself to protect and save the newly installed infrastructure.
He said that the mass transit system was the responsibility of federal government and the citizens will soon hear a good news in this regard.
Speaking on the occasion the director IBA Dr. Ishrat Husain said that we have invited City Nazim in this seminar for this 38 year old young man has brought about radical changes in Karachi. Our youth should follow him in their future assignments.
He said that Mustafa Kamal is the best example of good leadership and governance and the citizens of Karachi are feeling much ease in their daily life due to his endeavors.
He also asked the youth and students to give their time to community service and join hands with City Government in its community welfare plans.
