Postponement of Sindh PA session flayed
ISLAMABAD, Nov 29: The Pakistan People’s Party has condemned the indefinite postponement of the Sindh Assembly session declaring it immoral and illegal.
The acting secretary-general of the PPP, Mian Raza Rabbani, in a statement issued here on Thursday, said that the postponement amounted to ridiculing the mandate of the people of Sindh and was aimed at keeping the PPP out of power.
He declared the PML-Q the ‘B team of the generals’ which had violated the democratic, legal and moral norms.
He said that the PML-Q was repeating the same foul tactics in Sindh to buy time through which it had formed government in the Centre.
He alleged that bribery, coercion and intimidation was being employed to place the PML-Q in the government.
He said that such undemocratic practices of the government were bound to increase resentment among the people of Sindh, which was harmful for the federation.
He demanded of the government to immediately call the session of the Sindh assembly.
Mr Rabbani urged the human rights bodies and the people favouring democracy to raise their voice against what he called ‘the high handedness of the regime’.
DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE: President of the People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPP), Makhdoom Amin Fahim, has formed a disciplinary committee of the party, comprising MNAs Raja Pervez Ashraf, Syed Khursheed Shah, Yousuf Talpur, Syed Nayyar Hussain Bokhari and Qamruzzaman Keira.
The body has been assigned the task of recommending a disciplinary action against those violating party discipline.
The party had issued notices last week to Makhdoom Faisal Saleh Hayat, Rao Sikandar Iqbal and Nauraiz Shakoor for casting votes in support of PML-Q candidate Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali.
