Pasban Democratic Party Karachi’s Chief Organizer Tariq Chandiwala criticized the Sindh government’s establishment of new traffic courts, calling it another attempt to exploit citizens. He demanded that the Chief Minister stand with the public instead of “thieves and robbers” and increase the number of judges to provide prompt justice. Chandiwala stated that billions of rupees have already been extorted from the public through mandatory number plates, and the new courts are an additional financial burden.

He claimed that the new number plates are not about reforms but a new source of corruption. Citizens are facing financial and mental distress due to the expensive and unnecessary plates, which ironically increase the risk of vehicle theft and illegal vehicles in Sindh. The risk of forgery and scams is also increasing. Chandiwala stated that such measures are detrimental to the public unless basic traffic infrastructure, road conditions, and a corruption-free traffic police force are established. Public facilities should be prioritized.

Pasban intends to launch a “Blow the Whistle, Eradicate Corruption” campaign in Karachi. Chandiwala demanded an immediate halt to the mandatory installation of new number plates. He emphasized a completely transparent and reliable system before establishing any traffic courts. According to Chandiwala, road improvements, functional traffic signals, proper parking, and enforcement of traffic laws are essential. Pasban promised to support the citizens of Karachi and continue to raise their voices for their rights.
