KHAIRPUR, Oct 13: Pakistan Muslim League (Functional) leader and provincial Minister of Communication and Works, Syed Sadaruddin Shah Rashdi has criticised Sindh Chief Minister Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim, saying that he has made more enemies than friends and his political future does not seem to be good.

Talking to journalists at his residence in Kingri on Thursday, Mr Rashdi said that PML-F would win elections with a thumbing majority.

He said return of PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto would not make any difference to PML-F which had a strong political network in Sindh.

Predicting a bleak future for the PML, he said that only those parties would remain on the national political scene, which would give a better performance in the general elections.

To a question, he said that accountability would become meaningless if it was not conducted at the grassroots level.

The PML-F leader was of the opinion that all the political leaders living abroad, including Mian Nawaz Sharif, should be allowed to contest the general elections.

He said that there was a possibility of coalition between some political parties in the forthcoming general elections and at some of the constituencies, PML-F would opt for seat adjustment with other political parties.
