Netizens Lash Out at Sindh Minister Over Karachi Floods

Do you think he deserved the criticism?

Sindh Minister Saeed Ghani

The urban flooding in Karachi left the city in shambles. Some affected areas are still experiencing the aftermath of heavy rainfalls. Apparently, Sindh Minister Saeed Ghani is accused of being insensitive to the plight of the city’s inhabitants, by posting footage of select areas with no water as most of the city was submerged. His post angered a lot of people over being tone-deaf.

At least 19 people died due to the rainfall on Thursday, as it shattered an 89-year-old record for Karachi. However, the army and relief & medical camps were posted to help the public during this devastating time.

 

 

While Karachi was experiencing major problems and was in need of immediate attention, Saeed Ghani was busy posting updates of areas that had been ‘cleared up’.

He posted small snippets and pictures of the city from the comfort of his car, and it angered everyone who saw the posts.

First, let’s take a look at what he posted:
