We are ardent proponents of the idea that people of Lyari basically need a voice, a recognition of their talent and selection criteria which is based on merit. Unfortunately, the craze for cricket has overshadowed this particular aspect and Lyari is still unheard.

But now it seems like people of this town have stood up for themselves.

‘Players of Lyari’ is the song that has been produced by Patari. Check it out; I am sure you will not help but hum along tune…

The song has a catchy tune along with a very strong message.  We believe if a proper system and opportunities are scaled for people of Lyari, they could be relieved of the haggard living conditions and mayhem going around in the area.

They have immense potential that can be utilized for good. Pakistan can really have a strong tenacity in football if the talent among people here is valued.
