The protests are being staged by villagers in the nearby areas of Bahria town in Karachi, who claim they’re being forced to give up their land. Management of the residential area is bulldozing their lands for extra construction. Villagers have even had to give up their farming area, which was their source of income.
Malik Riaz Hussain, owner of the residential giant denied all accusations in a tweet, and welcomed everyone to do free investigation.
Bahria Town has not occupied any land illegally. By law, if someone proves that even there’s an inch of land which doesn’t belong to Bahria Town, we are ready to take complete responsibility of it. Bahria Town has always welcomed free investigation and will continue to do so, he said.
