Karachi: PML-N leader and former Sindh education minister Irfanullah Khan Marwat has demanded a fair population and housing census.
Talking to The News Tribe, a UK-based bilingual news website, Marwat alleged that the PPP-led government was seemed least interested under the pressure of Muttahida Qaumi Movement to hold a fair census in Sindh, specially in Karachi.
“We just say that other communities like Punjabi, Pukhtun and Hazarawal also reside in the city in a considerable number so there should be a fair housing and population census so that actual presence of all people from different ethnic background could be assessed,” the former provincial minister, who recently joined PML-N, said.
“I guess the number of people from these communities is more than that of Urdu speaking,” he added.
The PML-N leader said that MQM does not want an impartial cenus in the metropolis therefore they always oppose a fair census in Karachi.
“My demand is that there should be 99.9 percent honest voters list and and free environment where a voter is able to exercise his right of franchise without any fear at a polling station. This is my only difference with the MQM,” he said.
