With same desired motives of occupying the largest land and real estate sector in Karachi, Malik Riaz and his Bahria Town has launched another destructive project that is called Icon City being constructed on Clifton Karachi adjacent to Park Towers and shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi (RA). 


The way they got NOC and other documents of this mega project was quite suspicious and wondering as some smart tactics were used and a peaceful lifestyle of surrounding residents of Clifton, DHA and joined Kachi Abadis like Shah Rasool Colony, Neelam Colony, Gizri, etc became under threat too.



Cantonment Board Clifton (CBC) protested strongly and an outraged rally of residents were taken out on Clifton Beach while DHA Karachi got an interim Stay Order from Sindh High Court that was suddenly influenced and hijacked by Malik Riaz and company and in very next day of issuing Stay Order another bench cancelled the order and favored Bahria Town.


Nobody has objection over Pakistan's tallest mega tower with 62 storeyes, the concern is that no proper environmental and building control including town planning measures were taken while erecting such building that kept million of residents of Clifton, DHA, Neelam Colony, Shah Rasool Colony etc.


 Besides desecration of much visited shrine Mazar ABdullah Shah Ghazi (RA) a very ancient Hindu temple which is famous in south Asia being in cave is on high danger according to archaeologist.
Jahangir Kothari Parade is also landmark and symbol which represents Karachi.



Already around 1200 Million invest on Bagh-e-Ibn-e-Qasim.
There was no need to make underpass as there were no traffic conjunctions.


It was just planed to bless Icon Tower for their "Elite Customers"
 




In a sudden, shocking and wondering move, Sindh High Court (SHC) on Friday suspended the stay order against the construction of Clifton flyover and underpass by Bahria Town.

SHC two-member bench comprising of Justice Aqeel Abbasi and Justice Zafar Rajput hearing the Bharia Town petition suspended the stay order earlier issued by Justice Munib Akhtar.

It was amazing that the decision was taken over-nightly in a suspicious way and the single bench was changed in to two members bench without explaining its reasons.

During the hearing, Bahria Town lawyer made a plea that the area in question falls under the jurisdiction of Karachi Metropolitan Corporation and, as such, Defence Housing Authority (DHA) petition against the construction of Clifton flyover and underpass was illegal, while according to law preparation of environment affects of this project was not mandatory.

Later, the court suspending the stay order adjourned the hearing until April 22.

It is important to inform our readers and well wishers that such things are expected as Malik Riaz is famous of hidden political pressurizing and bribery. This is important to notify that the present Chief Justice Sindh High Court Sindh is very closed association with PPP head and former president Asif zardari and Malik Riaz is an open ally and donor of Asif Zardari.
