Karachi: Governor Sindh, Kamran Tessori, has strongly condemned recent threats targeting Pakistan’s Field Marshal, calling them “deeply concerning and unacceptable.” He alleged that these threats are backed by India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging the United Kingdom to take the matter seriously.
Speaking at a joint press briefing with MQM-Pakistan leaders in Karachi, Tessori highlighted Pakistan’s growing strength and international standing. “Our armed forces have consistently demonstrated Pakistan’s capabilities, earning global respect. The rising demand for Pakistani defense equipment worldwide reflects our nation’s strategic strength,” he stated.
Tessori also criticized Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), accusing the party of prioritizing rhetoric over substantive politics. “PTI is using the United Kingdom as a platform to propagate anti-Pakistan narratives, similar to the misuse of Afghan territory against us. Investigations are needed into those spreading such propaganda abroad,” he added.
On delays in the Karachi federal package, the Governor pledged to personally review obstacles hindering its implementation, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability. He further urged overseas Pakistanis to shield their families from misleading narratives, noting PTI’s campaign has already failed.
Joining Tessori, MQM-Pakistan convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui condemned PTI’s rhetoric, calling it unprecedented in Pakistani politics. He urged the party to prioritize national interest over personal affiliations.
Siddiqui also raised concerns over financial mismanagement in Karachi, noting that Sindh received Rs 22,000 billion over the past 15 years, with Rs 11,000 billion allocated to Karachi. “Karachi contributes 97% of Sindh’s revenue and drives the national economy, yet continues to face neglect,” he remarked.
He emphasized MQM’s ongoing advocacy for missing persons, confirming substantial funds have been allocated to affected families. Siddiqui insisted all missing individuals are innocent and called on the government and judiciary to take urgent and effective measures.
