Syed Mustafa Kamal, a leader of the Muttahida Quami Movement Pakistan (MQM-P), has sparked a conversation with his recent speech in Pakistan’s Parliament, where he drew attention to India’s lunar missions in contrast to the struggles faced in Karachi.
Kamal emphasized the stark contrast between India’s advancements, such as its successful moon landing missions, and the dire situation in Karachi, where news of children tragically dying in open gutters dominates headlines.
“Today, the condition in Karachi is that, while the world is going to the moon, children are dying by falling into gutters in Karachi,” Kamal remarked during his address.

He further underscored Karachi’s challenges, including the scarcity of fresh water and the alarming number of children out of school, citing a report that highlights over 70 lakh children in Karachi and more than 2.6 crore nationwide who are deprived of education opportunities.
Karachi, being the economic powerhouse of Pakistan, faces significant infrastructure and educational shortcomings despite its crucial role in the country’s development.
While India celebrates milestones in space exploration, Pakistan grapples with economic hardships, inflation, and mounting debt, prompting discussions about seeking assistance from international organizations like the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
As Pakistan navigates its economic challenges, Kamal’s speech resonates as a reminder of the urgent need to address domestic issues, particularly the fundamental rights and well-being of its citizens.
