Kamran Tessori Responded to Murtaza Wahab’s Statement

Sindh Governor Kamran Khan Tessori has responded to Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab’s statement, saying that his focus during Ramadan is entirely on serving the public, especially during Sehri and Iftar. He emphasised that his commitment to community service during this month leaves no time for anything else, particularly until after Sehri.

Tessori shared that he had the privilege of hosting Iftar for the Consuls General of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Oman, Turkiye, Malaysia, Russia and Bangladesh. Additionally, he had the honour of offering Iftar to 10,000 individuals at the Governor House. He stated that while serving the public, he also gains spiritual merit and highlighted that he provides daily gifts such as residential plots, Umrah tickets, motorcycles and phones, along with distributing Sehri at various locations.

Addressing Critics

He also addressed his critics, advising them to focus on making improvements instead of being jealous of the love and support he has received from the people. Tessori stated that this Ramadan, he has shown his commitment to all citizens and that people from all backgrounds—Muhajirs, Sindhis, Punjabis, Baloch and Pashtuns – consider him a brother and a son. He urged others to win hearts through service, saying that true success lies in public service, not in being envious of popularity.

Mayor Murtaza Wahab has urged the Prime Minister of Pakistan to fulfil his promises regarding Karachi’s development and called on MQM to clarify its stance on local government powers. Wahab said he has received a response from Governor Sindh Kamran Khan Tessori and will reply soon.

During the inauguration of development projects near Machi Miani Market, Wahab emphasised that the Old City Area is the foundation of Karachi and assured that municipal issues, particularly the blocked sewerage system, were being addressed. He criticised the Governor for focusing on the Iftar and Sehri parties instead of addressing Karachi’s problems. He also called for the release of Rs100 billion that was promised for the city’s development.

Wahab further criticised MQM for its unclear stance on local governance, stating that while the party had previously supported grassroots governance, it now advocated for PIDCL to take over KMC’s responsibilities. He mentioned ongoing efforts to resolve Karachi’s water shortage and development projects in Keamari Fish Market and Lyari, adding that no obstacles in Karachi’s development would be tolerated.
