PRICE HIKE: Sindh Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal president MNA Maulana Asadullah Bhutto has said the Sindh government has failed to control price hike and provide employment and protection to the people.
He was talking to party activists at an Eid Millan party in Setharja on Wednesday night.
Maulana Bhutto said the Sindh chief minister was working only to save his chair and was busy to reconcile with his colleagues and the governor was serving his party interests. That was why the MMA had launched a protest movement and had given a seven-point charge-sheet to the Sindh government, he added.
