Significant Change in Karachi Possible Within Three Months if Given to Federal Government: Faisal Vawda

**Islamabad (Qudrat Daily):** Senator **Faisal Vawda** has stated that if **Karachi is handed over to the federal government**, significant improvements could be seen within **three months**. Speaking on ARY News’ program *The Reporters*, he said that after provincial autonomy, the federal government only collects and distributes funds to provinces, but Karachi has remained neglected. “The good news is that its problems are finally going to be addressed,” he added.

Regarding his meeting with President **Asif Ali Zardari**, Vawda said the **28th Amendment** was not discussed. He emphasized that while the federal government receives loans and distributes funds to provinces based on population, provinces often fail to deliver results, yet the blame falls on the federal system. He highlighted the need for **system-wide reforms** in the country.

At the start of the program, Vawda criticized the political system, saying, “While the world has reached the moon, we celebrate covering drains. Generations of the rich have ruled, while the poor continue to struggle for basic necessities like flour, sugar, education, motorcycles, and rickshaws.” He added that schools, hospitals, and factories often belong to political elites, and the failure of governance has ruined generations of common citizens.

Vawda condemned the current system, stating that it has blurred the distinction between humans and animals. He criticized the judicial and administrative failures over the past 75 years, saying that new, educated youth are not allowed into the system, and corruption and inefficiency have persisted generation after generation.

He praised **Field Marshal General Asim Munir** and the Pakistan Air Force for their leadership in maintaining order and defeating enemies during critical times. However, he expressed disappointment over **lack of unity** in responding to terrorism in Balochistan and Islamabad, emphasizing that those who criticize the military should face accountability similar to that for terrorists.

Vawda concluded by stressing that the failures are **systemic**, not limited to individual politicians, and reforms are needed across the board to save the country from further deterioration.
