KARACHI: City nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal offered Paan (beetle-leaf) to journalists and common man that had gathered around to see a glimpse of him on Wednesday and Thursday night.
The city nazim alongwith a convoy of police and Rangers and journalists after performing groundbreaking ceremony of signal free corridor-IV project, the Jinnah terminal flyover had reached PIDC to perform another groundbreaking ceremony of a dedicated major project of signal free corridor-IV, the PIDC section flyover.
After he finished his the groundbreaking ceremony and his talks to the media representatives, he was requested to offer popular paan from Bi Amman Paan Shop located near the PIDC.
It was around 2:30 am when the city nazim took all the media representatives to the Bi Amma paan shop and placed an order for “double saada paan” for each media representative.
Two of the paan shop owners were delighted to see city nazim at their paan shop. They started preparing special double saada paan while the city nazim had served everyone with his own hands. It took around one hour to finish.
The paan shop owners were reluctant to accept payment from city nazim but the city nazim convinced him to receive the payment. He paid Rs 1, 500.
During the entire period, the city nazim kept on telling his memoirs of his childhood and the media representatives felt free to chat with him quite informally.
The city nazim also got a pack of double saada paan for his wife as he said, “My wife who had missed me during last four years as I could not spare enough time for my family would be pleased to see that I have bought her paan with love”.
When the city nazim was leaving, the owners of an adjacent paan shop requested him to take a paan from their shop.
City nazim who was already chewing a paan was reluctant to take another beetle leaf but he accepted it.
