He said that people, including women and children were on the road searching for water all around the city.
MQM leader said that the PPP and PML-N governments neither gave due jobs to Karachiites nor carried out the development works in the city. He said that the provincial government politicized water crisis and consistently discriminated the people already deprived of their fundamental rights.
