He said that if someone does not like me, I will tender my resignation ,but the Sindh government would have to make proper development in Karachi.
While pointing towards the cases against him and MQM leader Saleem Shahzad the mayor said that similar cases were registered against the likes of Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri but no one bats an eye towards them.
