KHAIRPUR, June 7: The president of the People’s Party Parliamentarian, Sindh, Syed Qaim Ali Shah, has rejected the amendments to the Sindh Local Government Ordinance introduced by the Sindh governor. Talking to newsmen and party workers at the Jilani House here on Tuesday, he said the ordinance had introduced dictatorship of one person in the local bodies system.

He said this was aimed at to dislodging the nazim and to disturb the present local bodies system.

He said the district council was an independent elected body and it was function of the district council to remove the nazim and an elected body could not be dependent on one man.

He said that through the law, the Sindh chief minister and other authorities would get a chance to take political revenge.

He said the law and order situation in Sindh was very critical and Tharparkar district had been declared a no-go area by the chief minister.
