KARACHI: Amid growing anger among the people over frequent power outages and inflated bills, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan on Saturday took to the street, staged protest and warned the government that power supply issues to Karachi and “inhumane approach” of the K-Electric could lead to serious repercussions.

The MQM-P, which organised the protest demonstration in Baldia Town against consistent power crisis in the densely-populated neighbourhood, said that it would continue to raise voice against the unjust policy of the KE.

MQM-P leader Wasim Akhtar said the people of Karachi might lose their patience as there was a limit to bear injustices.
