‘Interim set-up partial’

Published December 14, 2007

BADIN, Dec 13: The district’s People’s Party president and candidate for PS-58 Badin seat, Dr Sikandar Ali Mandhro, alleged the caretaker set-up of being partial and said that nazims were campaigning for the pro-government parties’ candidates and misusing the state apparatus.

Talking to journalists at ‘meet the press’ programme here on Wednesday Mandhro said the political environment and ground realities in the country would undergo a change.

He said people are waiting anxiously for the day when they could get rid of injustice, inflation and deprivation.

He said the Sindh government had failed to resolve their problems as 75 per cent of the provincial assembly’s meetings were called on the opposition’s requisitions.

He said that no PPP candidate in the district would make seat adjustment with anyone as it is a popular party and required no adjustments.

Cases settled: The regional office of provincial ombudsman of Badin solved as many as 52 cases while 145 cases were to be decided through formal regular hearings.

The regional director ombudsman told Dawn that most of the complaints were against the revenue, police, education, and irrigation departments.
