Famous actress and host Hina Khawaja Bayat strongly criticized the ruling party of Karachi, Mayor Murtaza Wahab, and Governor Kamran Tessori over the destruction caused by heavy rains.
She shared a video message on her social media accounts where she appeared very angry and emotional, describing the situation in Karachi like a tragedy.
Hina said that just one rainfall proved disasters do not only come from the sky, but some people on earth also become the reason.
She added that all those insensitive and incompetent people who have been ruling Karachi for decades have forgotten that their real duty is to serve.
The actress reminded them that Karachi gives more than 70 percent of the country’s tax revenue and works as the backbone of Pakistan, yet it does not even have proper roads without potholes.
She further said that there is no proper drainage system. Water is everywhere on the streets, but there is no clean water to drink because the tanker mafia earns money from this problem.
Hina also said that the corrupt system easily removes small street vendors but allows huge illegal buildings to be constructed. They block drains and sewerage lines, which makes the city suffer even more.
Hina Bayat said that after the rain ends, the mayor and governor come out pretending to show sympathy, but now it has no use.
She told them that they should have worked earlier, not just shown sympathy later. No one in their families died from electric shocks, they faced no personal loss.
She added that their cars did not break down, their motorbikes were not washed away, and their businesses were not destroyed. That is why they are sitting comfortably.
Hina Khawaja Bayat said that now they are trying to act sympathetic, but people do not need sympathy, they need answers and accountability.
She also said that Karachi has been turned into a place like the rest of Sindh where people are forced to live in hunger, poverty, and pain without raising their voice, but now the time for accountability has come.
