Lahore (28th Oct, 2019): General Secretary of Pak Sarzameen Party, Raza Haroon, argues politicizing Karachi’s water supply project is damaging for the public.
According to Baaghi TV’s reports, General Secretary of the Pak Sarzameen Party, Raza Haroon, has come forward to claim that the upcoming Karachi water supply project is being “targeted and politicised”. Taking to Twitter, popular social-networking website, Haroon pointed out that the media reports regarding the project are not “the complete truth” and that it is time that civil societies and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) need to step in because water is the “lifeline of Karachi”. He added that he is in the process of collecting and compiling the facts which he will disclose soon.
#SOS Under threat:
K-IV #water supply project for #Karachi being targeted and politicised to make it controversial. Reports via media isn’t the complete truth. Civil society and NGOs must get involved to save this lifeline of Karachi. Collecting facts and will share soon.— Raza Haroon رضا ہارون (@mrazaharoon) October 27, 2019
Moreover, Haroon continued to argue that water which is an essential for human life is being used for “politics, power and money”. He added that the project is being “halted/hijacked” on the basis of “vested interest”. Consequently, pointing out that there seems to be “no consideration” for the people of Sindh, specifically for residents of the port city, as they are being deprived of “clean drinking water”.
#Water 💦 is essential to human life and used for politics, power and 💴. #K_IV Project is being halted/hijacked in collusion and connivance for vested interest. There is more to it than meets the eyes.
* Civil society must get involved to save #Karachi’s lifeline. #Sindh— Raza Haroon رضا ہارون (@mrazaharoon) October 28, 2019
Raza Haroon went on to comment that the blame lies within “massive politics, commercial interests and personal gains and issues of misuse of authority” which correlates with corrupt practices. He has further claimed that it is being politicized, to manipulate and damage Karachi’s lifeline.
Conspiracy against people depriving them of clean drinking water. Strongly apprehended that massive politics, commercial interests and personal gains and issues of misuse of authority tantamount to corrupt practices is to blame. 1/2

In another tweet, Haroon has stated that there is a lack of consideration for the people of Karachi arguing that the K-IV Project which was launched for Sindh and is close to completion is in danger, asserting that because water is basic for human life, the issue must be dealt with “as matter of #NationalEmergency and public importance”.
No consideration, it appears, for the people of #Karachi, #Sindh for whom the K-IV Project was launched and is almost near completion. Water is life and so this issue needs to be taken seriously as matter of #NationalEmergency and public importance. #K_IV #Water
