SUKKUR, April 23: The government fabricated several cases against Benazir Bhutto, but failed to furnish any proof against her, said the president of Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians, Sindh chapter, Syed Qaim Ali Shah.

Had the money spent on fabricating cases against Benazir Bhutto been used for the provincial uplift, Sindh would have been more developed, said Mr Shah while speaking at a press conference at the residence of Mir Farooq Jakhrani in Jacobabad on Saturday.
