–Special development package for Karachi should have been announced in second mini package, says Farooq SattarKARACHI: Senior politician Farooq Sattar on Saturday praised Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Saeed Ghani’s refusal to demolish houses during the ongoing anti-encroachment drive on the orders of the Supreme Court (SC). “Around 10,000 shops and 1,500 houses have been destroyed in the campaign thus far,” he told. “If the PM’s Bani Gala property can be regularised then people of Karachi also deserve the same treatment,” Sattar said. Earlier on Friday, Sindh Local Government Minister Saeed Ghani had threatened to tender his resignation if he was forced to implement SC’s orders to demolish houses in the metropolis. Criticising the second mini-budget of the federal government, Sattar said that a special development package for Karachi should also have been announced.
