Whenever the Hocane sisters have made it to the news, it’s for their hot takes on various things, be it depression being caused by poor diet or being okay with harrassment, their wisdom has always left the internet baffled!
And after the disastrous rains battered Karachi, people all over social media have been calling out on the incompetence of the ruling governments, and Urwa Hocane has had enough!
1/2 No doubt the government didn’t care about the city but did we ! time to stop complaining & do something on our own & fix atleast our own colony issues in Karachi ! We can’t even stop throwing the garbage everywhere we like. Gov doesn’t have a magic wand! #KarachiRains

2/2 It’s the people who have to work hand in hand with the gov ! How many of you can come up with a solution. Why don’t we start somewhere . Sab kuch government ka kaam nahi hota. Khud bhi kuch sochein, haath pey haath rakh k baithnay k ilawa ! #KarachiRains

In a series of tweets, Urwa Hocane lashes out on the already helpless citizens and asks them if they have a better solution. Not holding back, the netizens came right back at Urwa, answering most of her concerns:
PLEASE keep your "elite" opinions to yourself. If you get off your high horse and for once think about things rationally you'd understand that proper planning of the drainage systems is something the GOVERNMENT should be taking care of. The citizens don't PLAN that.

Oops!
Democracy means BY the people, FROM the people, FOR the people.
This is the government's work. Just like your work is to act but none of the two seem to be going great. https://t.co/jKEfQPclAT

People wanted to know the solutions she had:
Let’s start with you.
What “ideas” do you have for people who are drowning right now but – according to you – should brainstorm and pick something up and start working? https://t.co/XbEDr3a7e2— Alishba (@alishbabrar) August 27, 2020

What do you think about Urwa’s hot take on Karachi rains? Let us know in the comments below!
Well I think that Urwa’s tweet is not an operative one. If she wants people to think for a solution then she should be the first one in the solution provider list. She just schooled people on that point which was not their fault. Drainage system needs a complete plan and infrastructure designed by professionals. It’s a technical job which a common man cannot do. For such a complex project, Pakistan has drainage maintenance departments with qualified professionals. So it’s the government’s job not the citizen’s responsibility. And as far as money is concerned for such a billion dollar project, then people provide tax. Only if these taxes are used for citizen’s goodwill, then things will surely get better.
The Hocane sisters have proved time and time again that their tweets have no thought process behind them . Living inside her privileged bubble with a generator producing electricity and a house full of servants , She doesn’t know shit about what the Masan population Ian suffering from . If she really wanted to make a difference , it would have been better to come out on the streets ans help people then tweeting such garbage . And just to let her know , it is THE PEOPLE who are going to end up repairing their own houses , draining their basements and fixing their cars because the government doesn’t do shit!! I AM FUMING RIGHT NOW !!
