Khuhro urges govt to resign

Published April 3, 2007

JACOBABAD, April 2: Leader of opposition in Sindh Assembly Nisar Ahmed Khuhro said on Monday that the government should accept its failure in maintaining law and order in the country and resign.

Mr Khuhro said talking to journalists at the residence of party leader Aslam Abro here criticised the government for deteriorating law and order in the province.

He said that people fell unsafe and insecure even inside the confines of their homes and no day passed without robberies and kidnapping incidents like the kidnap of Om Parkash and Fazila Sarki.

Worsening situation in the NWFP, Balochistan and Wana proved that the rulers had completely failed to restore law and order, he said.

To a question he said that all the political parties were expected to take part in the general elections if they were held under an impartial and independent election commission. Mr. Khuhro said that there was no need of an All-Parties Conference now because all the parties had already agreed to launch agitation for the removal of Gen Pervez Musharraf and true democracy in the country.

Mr Khuhro said that whenever the Sindh assembly session was prorogued it was requisitioned by the opposition and was adjourned under one pretext or the other.

He said that his party had again moved a requisition for summoning assembly session on April 12 to discuss the misbehaviour of chief minister, excesses of ruling party and mass rigging in Kotri by-elections but the rulers did not have courage to answer the questions and wanted an escape.
