ANP demands census under army
KARACHI: Army should supervise the census in Karachi because of the tense situation here, said Awami National Party (ANP) Sindh president Shahi Syed here on Saturday. In a press release issued from the Mardan House, he said that entrusting town administrations, health officials and social welfare departments would lead to a bogus voters’ list-like situation.
ANP leader urged the Sindh government to enroll all legal expatriate Bengalis, Burmese, Iranians, Afghanis and people hailing from the Middle East.
He recalled that in the past, partial officials manipulated enrollment forms of census, which proved detrimental to the interests of many communities inhabiting in Karachi. He reiterated that corrupt officials led to such a scenario that a specific community’s majority area was shown as minority on the paper. ppi
