SUKKUR: Sindh Assembly Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani has said that federal government and its policies are beyond common man’s ken and even he fails to understand what agenda the centre is working on.

Durrani was speaking to media persons after having expressed his condolences to former provincial minister Sardar Manzoor Khan Panhwar over the death of his sister in Adam Khan Panhwar village in Jacobabad on Monday.

He said that whatever the federal government was doing against its opponents would come round to it sooner or later and then it would have to face the music for its actions because federal ministers too were involved in different scandals.

He said that inflation had reached its peak in the country and people were groaning under its unbearable burden but the federal government appeared to have no plan to resolve it and bring some relief to people. The federal government must not forget that people were real power in a democracy.

He said that the prime minister’s “NRO song” was increasingly becoming repetitive and boring. If somebody did seek an NRO from him, it should be clarified or this irritating song must end now.

He said in answer to a question that Prime Minister Imran Khan should now allow people to get frightened as the federal government had completely failed to control unbridled inflation.

He said that people of Sindh loved Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and his party and its proof was general election of 2018 in which PPP bagged “99 per cent” seats in Sindh.

Former MPA Sardarzada Aurangzeb Khan Panhwar, Mir Taimur Khan Panhwar, Mir Changez Khan and others were also present at Sardar Manzoor Khan Panhwar’s residence.

The sister of the former provincial minister had died after prolonged illness and her funeral prayer was offered in the village on Sunday.
