KARACHI:
The creation of a new district in Karachi appears to have taken the form of a double-edged sword for the ruling Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
On one end, it hints at a possible increase in the party’s number of national and provincial seats in Sindh’s capital. While, on the other, it leaves upon PPP the onus of uplifting the living conditions of several villages that have long dwelled in destitution.
