The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has announced a protest against the issues related to the census in Karachi. PTI Karachi President Aftab Siddiqui made the announcement during a meeting of town presidents and general secretaries regarding the census, which was attended by Central Deputy Secretary General Khurram Sher Zaman, Karachi General Secretary Arslan Taj, and other officials.
Various officials were given responsibilities for the protests during the meeting. It was also decided to approach the court against the census. Siddiqui informed that the statistics agency has been informed about the reservations, and now PTI would also write a letter to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics.
"We would highlight the issue of the census from the districts to the ward level. Protests would be held in 25 towns of Karachi, and a grand demonstration would be held on May 1,” said Siddiqui.
The announcement of the protest by PTI has added to the already tense situation regarding the census in Karachi. The city has been struggling with various issues related to the census, including alleged under-counting and lack of transparency.
The PTI Karachi president also mentioned that other political parties making claims on the census have only been verbal so far. This protest aims to bring attention to the issue and create real change.
