Nasir was of the view that these welfare centres are not here for commercial purposes. In fact, they facilitate the people of Karachi and have been doing so for decades.
"Edhi's ambulance network already affected. There is no sense of how to govern", Nasir added.

"I’ve demanded Sindh Govt pass legislation mandating relocation, rehabilitation & compensation take place BEFORE any eviction. Also to explore all legislative options to protect to protect Karachi’s poor & vulnerable. To protect Karachi’s cultural & historical heritage. It’s living heritage.
