Renowned human rights advocate and attorney Jibran Nasir, who is vying for the PS-110 seat in the Sindh Assembly for the fourth time, has stated that his political platform prioritizes providing access, accountability, and justice to this diverse population.
With a focus on providing a complete strategy, Nasir seeks to solve the various difficulties that PS-110 faces, which are spread throughout places such as Clifton, the Defense Housing Authority, and eighteen densely inhabited colonies.
The microphone is Nasir’s electoral emblem, which fits his amazing articulation abilities.
Reasons for running for office again and again
Nasir argues that persistence is the key to success in politics, justifying his several failed attempts at the election. He thinks it’s important to give people time to learn about the principles and goals of a candidate.
Nasir believes that his advantage comes from the close ties he has cultivated with the community over the course of years of humanitarian work, even in the face of opposition from candidates with established party legacies.
“You must allow the constituency time. That might be accomplished by engaging in social work, improving interpersonal relationships, and running for office in each election.
“A difficult pill to swallow” for parties in power
One noteworthy feature of Nasir’s strategy is his choice to maintain his independence. For other political parties, he characterizes himself as a “bitter pill to swallow,” since he will not stand up for their leaders in cases of corruption.
“Our political parties uphold absolutes; a member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) cannot even mutter that the PPP has accomplished something constructive,
Likewise, a PPP member would never support a project that would help the public good.
Being independent gives him the freedom to participate in politics based on issues without being constrained by party platforms. With this strategy, Nasir thinks he can work with people from other parties on issues that are important to the community.
The Mafia of Water Tankers
The use of water tankers in regions under the control of Cantonment Board Clifton (CBC) is a problem that PS-110 addresses. Citizens pay their taxes to the government, yet they still have to pay a premium for water delivered by tanker.
Nasir, who brought the matter to court, suggests expanding water facilities or doing away with tankers, stressing the significance of installing water lines and metering to stop losses.
