Karachi: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi Ameer Monem Zafar Khan has said that rulers who came to power through 'Form 47' have dropped another 'petrol bomb' on the public instead of reducing their own lavish expenditures during this period.Monem Zafar Khan expressed these views while addressing the 'Jeenay Do Karachi' public gathering and Iftar program held at Hasrat Mohani Park in Karachi's Rifah-e-Aam Society. On the occasion, he also inaugurated a road in the nearby Pure Block area.He said the people of Karachi are deprived of basic necessities such as water, electricity, and gas, adding that more than half of the city's population lacks access to safe drinking water, while the infrastructure is in ruins with broken roads and overflowing sewers.Monem Zafar said that the Government of Sindh is not willing to provide Karachiites with their basic right to live with dignity. He said that the provincial government has not allocated a single rupee to town administrations for development projects over the past two and a half years.Despite this, he said, representatives of the JI are continuing to serve the public by lighting streets and reviving playgrounds in different neighborhoods.He added that the party's vision is to continue the journey of development while also pursuing struggle and resistance to secure the rights of the people of Karachi.Referring to international issues, Monem Zafar Khan said that the people of Gaza have been facing oppression for the past two and a half years. He alleged that Israel, with billions of dollars in assistance and weapons from the United States, has carried out bombardment in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of more than 75,000 Palestinians including children, women, and the elderly, while millions have been injured and about 85 percent of the population has been devastated.He further criticized the United States and Israel, accusing them of spreading terrorism around the world, and referred to attacks during negotiations involving Iran as 'open terrorism.' He also mentio ned earlier conflicts involving Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, saying these events had destabilized the region.Addressing the gathering, Muhammad Farooq said that the holy month of Ramadan is a month of the revelation of the Qur'an and of struggle. He recalled the historic Battle of Badr, which took place on the 17th of Ramadan in 2 AH, when a force of 313 Muslims faced an army of about 1,000 and, according to Islamic belief, received divine assistance. He said the message of Ramadan is to raise one's voice against oppression and that the Muslim world must show unity against injustice.Among others present at the event were District Airport Ameer Muhammad Ashraf, Information Secretary Zahid Askari, and other party officials. A large number of residents attended the gathering.
