HYDERABAD, June 12: Sindh People’s Party Parliamentarians president Qaim Ali Shah has said that party chairperson Benazir Bhutto has decided that people, who left the party and joined the government, will not be accepted back in the party for 10 years.

He was speaking at an oath-taking ceremony of office-bearers of the party of Tando Mohammad Khan district and addressing workers on Monday.

He said that the Sindh chief minister had totally failed in controlling the law and order situation. He said that terrorist activities and lawlessness in the province were rampant.

He said that the charter was the beginning of the end of the present regime.

He lashed out at the federal minister Kamil Agha for his utterances that the dam would be constructed even on the bodies of opponents.

He demanded that the minister should apologise to the nation for making such an irresponsible statement which could undermine the very unity of the country.

He exhorted the party workers to prepare themselves for sacrifices in the cause of democracy.

He warned the rulers that election malpractices in any form in the next elections would not be tolerated by people.
