LARKANA, July 11: Sindh National Front chief Mumtaz Bhutto has criticised government representatives for holding meetings in Dubai, UK and other foreign countries instead of Islamabad, at the cost of country’s exchequer.

He called it a joke with the people and said that people were looking for water and flour and committing suicide due to sky rocketing price hike but the rulers were spending millions of rupees in futile activities outside the country.

Talking to visitors in Mirpur Bhutto, Mr Bhutto said he could not see government anywhere in the country. “If Mr Zardari has to issue orders he should better come to Pakistan instead of wasting public money, as the country is already overburdened with loans,” he said. Mr Bhutto predicted that the day of ‘accountability’ was nearing.
