Sindh cabinet

Published September 1, 2016

INFORMATION adviser to Sindh chief minister Maula Bux Chandio often blames Punjab for its ‘inappropriate’ behaviour towards the small provinces. This act will only spread hate and revulsion among the nation.

In fact, it is Sindh’s rulers who are responsible for the damage done to the province. They have been ruling for the last several decades but have promoted only nepotism, corruption, lawlessness and the urban and rural division.

The cabinet of Murad Ali Shah comprises only those advisers and ministers who are relatives of power figures. The Sports Minister Muhammad Bux Khan Mahar stands out among all because of his youth, stylish looks, branded apparel and extravagant lifestyle.

On the other hand, PPP’s arrested leader Dr Asim Hussain has made confessions of his involvement in multiple high-profile corruption scams and revealed many secrets.

The poor people of Sindh have been facing atrocities being committed by these oppressive feudal lords. It is they who are the real hindrance in the way of development. A majority of people in Sindh face lack of food, shelter, health, education and clean water.

Maula Bux Chandio is considered the ideological intellect of the PPP. He should know that it is easy to blame others rather than find remedies of the problems. He should admit the failure of the Sindh government.

It provides yet more proof that the undergirding logic of public authority in Pakistan is legal and extra-legal coercion rather than legitimised consent.
