Sadia Accuses Mustafa Kamal of Inciting Ethnic Tensions in Karachi

News Desk
KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Sadia Javed on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader Mustafa Kamal, accusing him of attempting to drag Karachi back into the dark abyss of ethnic warfare for petty political gains.
Addressing a press conference in Karachi, Sadia Javed stated that the citizens of the metropolis have rejected politics of division and hatred, emphasizing that peace and harmony in the provincial capital are paramount.
She alleged that certain political elements are finding it difficult to digest the ongoing development and peaceful coexistence among different communities residing in the city.
The political clash comes amidst a hardening of rhetoric between rival political factions in Sindh, raising serious concerns among civil society and citizens who fear that renewed ethnic polarization could disrupt commercial activities and community life.
Analysts note that such fiery exchanges often undermine administrative efforts to maintain law and order and foster inclusive urban governance in Pakistan’s largest economic hub.
Political stakeholders and local observers have urged all parties to exercise restraint and prioritize public welfare over partisan confrontations.
Meanwhile, further political reactions and rebuttals from the MQM-P leadership are expected in the coming days as the war of words intensifies.
