Ghani was of the view that the MQM had been maintaining complete silence and not doing protests against the issue of hike in the prices of petrol and electricity, inflation, and natural gas crisis in Karachi despite the fact that Sindh accounted for a majority of the gas produced in the country. He recalled that the MQM had previously parted ways with the Pakistan Peoples Party-led federal government four times against hike in petroleum prices but now the party was more interested in federal ministries instead of doing any protest against inflation. He added that although the MQM claimed that Karachi belonged to it but it had remained very much part of the process that was carried out in Islamabad to approve the controversial population census results against the interests of Karachi and Sindh. “We condemn such an attempt and will not let it succeed,” he said. He, however, said that the same problems should not be used as a pretext to make an attempt to tarnish the law and order situation and promote hatred in the province. Ghani conceded that there would be drawbacks in the working of the Sindh government and efforts could be made to overcome these issues.
He maintained that the opposition political parties in Sindh had resorted to protests against the newly passed Sindh Local Government (Amendment) Bill 2021 to prove that they had no interest in the genuine problems of the people.
Addressing a press conference at the Sindh Assembly on Wednesday, the information minister said the MQM had again been attempting to promote hatred in the city through politics based on ethnicity and prejudice.
