In a recent gathering held at the Orangi Town German Ground, Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, the convener of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), addressed the crowd, outlining the party’s commitment to the welfare and progress of Karachi, specifically focusing on the development of Orangi Town. During his speech, Dr. Siddiqui underscored MQM-P’s dedication to resolving the challenges faced by the residents of the area.
