Fawad says there is dictatorship in Sindh

KARACHI, June 20 (DNA): Federal Minister for Information and
Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry has lashed out at Sindh government saying
there is in fact no democratic government in Sindh, it’s just a dictatorship over there.

The federal minister was talking to media outside Karachi Press Club on
Sunday.

Fawad Chaudhry lamented that there was no democratic government in
Sindh, ‘there is the only dictatorship in Sindh,’ he added. He
reiterated his plea to the Supreme Court to implement Article 140A of
the Constitution in the province.

He stated that it was being said that the PTI won in Karachi ‘but they
don’t consider the fact that under the 18th Amendment, funds are being
provided to the whole province.’

He said categorically that the PTI government would invite a third party
to monitor the funds being spent in Sindh. He said a malicious campaign
was being carried out against Supreme Court Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmad.

He regretted that PPP used to be a national party. ‘Today PPP Chairman
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari raises his voice against Punjab accusing it of
stealing water.’ He said when the federal government demanded the data
of inflow and outflow of water then they ran away.

He said PPP itself stole water and diminished party position from a
national party into a provincial party. He said PPP days were numbered.
He was hopeful that PTI would form next government in Sindh. He said
Prime Minister Imran Khan would start his next election campaign in
Sindh.

He lamented the PPP had been ruling Sindh for more than a decade. ‘But
look at the state of Sindh. What has become of it,’ he added.

He was of the view that maligning PM Imran was no agenda. He said Maryam
Nawaz and Bilawal did not have any agenda. He said they were the scions
of royalty and they did not have the political acumen.

He said Imran Khan was a true leader. His policy was very clear whether
it was Afghanistan or Muslim Ummah.

He boasted on the PTI government’s performance saying the economy was
showing signs of improvement. He said that PTI would form the government
in Sindh next time.

Mr Chaudhry said that opposition did not have a democratic thinking
saying that PML-N President and Opposition leader in National assembly
Shehbaz Sharif was looking for some shoulder.

He said that Shehbaz had no control over his party. He was of the view
that PML-N was being controlled by its vice president Maryam Nawaz and
PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif. He said that opposition was just a
hotchpotch of Nawaz Sharif, Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Bilawal Bhutto
Zardari. DNA
