KARACHI (92 News) - The Pakistan Sarzameen Party (PSP) has announced to protest against the approval of new district in Karachi. As the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP)-led Sindh government moved to carve out another district, Keamari, in Karachi, it came under fire from different quarters. Among them, the loudest of the opposing voices belonged to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) and Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) - two political parties having the most significant hold in Sindh’s urban centres. Meanwhile, Farooq Sattar also supported the protest against the approval of Kemari district. On the other hand, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have announced to move court against the formation of a new district in Karachi.

PTI leader Khurram Sher Zaman said that they condemn the division of Karachi. PTI leader Haleem Adil Sheikh said that it is enmity with Sindh to bifurcate Karachi. PSP chairman Mustafa Kamal said that the PPP had tried to break Karachi. MQM leader Farooq Sattar said that the division of Karachi is a prejudicial act and tantamount to an enmity with Karachi.
