KARACHI, July 7 (APP): Revival of social and political activities in Karachi has enabled people to exercise their right of expression which itself is prerequisite for a strong democratic culture, said Governor of Sindh, Muhammad Zubair.
Talking to a delegation of Aga Khan Shia Imami Ismaili Council of Pakistan led by its President, Hafiz Sher Ali, he said democracy was crucial for modern day countries.

“Karachi is attracting foreign investment that is not only paving way for eliminating poverty and unemployment but also improving quality of life of citizens,” he said.
