HYDERABAD, July 22: The Pakistan Muslim League-Q has accused the government of ignoring parliament and said that all important decisions are being taken by PPP chief Asif Ali Zardari in Dubai.

Addressing a ‘Meet the Press’ programme of the Hyderabad press club here on Tuesday, PML-Q president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and secretary-general Mushahid Hussain Sayed said:

“It is in fact a government in exile”.

They said the PML-Q had suggested to the prime minister to convene a National Assembly session before going to the United Sates in order to get full authority from the legislature.

They said the government neither had the political will nor the expertise to steer the country out of the present crisis.

Chaudhry Shujaat said the PPP had obtained votes in Sindh by using the Sindh card but it had done nothing for the downtrodden people of the province.

He alleged that the PPP had unleashed a reign of terror against PML-Q leaders and workers.

He said the main purpose of their visit was to express solidarity with his party’s leaders and workers who were being victimised. “Had Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto been alive today, the people of Sindh would not have been victimised and the government would have evolved some strategy to provide relief to the people,” he said.

Mushahid Hussain said that PML leaders and workers were being subjected to inhuman atrocities and cited the example of Altaf Unnar and his son.

He alleged that the Shirazis of Thatta and PML-Q leaders in other districts were also being victimised.
