KARACHI: Jamaat-e-Islami, Karachi, Ameer Hafiz Naeemur Rehman has said that the “Haq Do Karachi” rally is a movement for legitimate and legal rights of the people of Karachi against rural and urban feudal lords.
He said that if we have reached the Governor House today, the PPP should not think that there will be no question from it. The Chief Minister’s House is also nearby. We will protest at CM House after the eid, the JI chief said.
