After inking an agreement with the Sindh government to make changes in the controversial local government law, the Jamaat-e-Islami has announced that it would launch the second phase of the Karachi Rights Movement on February 12 and caravans for Karachi’s rights would march on streets from March 4 onwards.
“Under the second phase of the campaign, door-to-door contact will be made and corner meetings will be held in each and every union council for due rights of the city,” said JI Karachi chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman while addressing a press conference at the party’s secretariat.
He added that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP)-led provincial government in its February 11 cabinet meeting would uphold its commitment to the implementation of the agreement it inked with the JI.
“The JI’s struggle and talks with the Sindh government over the outstanding issues will continue,” he said.
