Mustafa Kamal Announces MQM‑P’s Planned Street Mobilisation to Challenge Karachi’s Perceived Injustice

The front‑line political organization MQM‑P announced on Saturday that it would adopt street‑based advocacy to confront what it calls injustice inflicted upon Karachi. The declaration was delivered at a press conference held in the city, where Mustafa Kamal lauded the party’s resolve to raise awareness in line with constitutional guarantees.

“MQM‑P will no longer remain silent,” Kamal said. “We have articulated our position in formal assemblies, presented a constitutional amendment for consideration, yet our proposals have been dismissed. Therefore, we are prepared to mobilise our supporters on public avenues while remaining fully within the bounds of the law and the Constitution.”

He underlined the legitimacy of such a move, pointing out that Pakistan’s current system—rooted in a four‑province framework—has proven ineffective for the city’s needs. “Funds allocated to Sindh fail to reach the district.Rooted in deficit, there is no reliable framework for disbursement to the most localised governmental units.”

Further, Kamal spoke about the 18th Amendment, explaining that it has yet to be fully operationalised, creating the impetus for MQM‑P’s commitment to devolution of power. “The top of our agenda is establishing new administrative provinces to address local governance challenges, following the provisions of the 18th Amendment.”
