Postponement of PA session resented

Published November 29, 2002

LARKANA, Nov 28: The Pakistan People’s Party, Larkana district, has criticized the government’s decision to postpone the inaugural session of the Sindh Assembly for the second time.

In a statement issued here on Thursday, the district president of the PPP, Nawab Shabbir Ahmed Chandio, MNA Anwar Bhutto and MPA-elect Ayaz Soomro termed the move an insult of the mandate of the people of Sindh.

They alleged that the rulers wanted to see their cronies in power.

They said that the postponement of the assembly session was a calculated move to impose minority parties on the province, thereby trampling over the popular will of the people, who had sent PPP candidates in majority to the Sindh Assembly.

The PPP leaders accused the rulers of acting hastily on the advice of a minority party, and called for holding an early session of the Sindh Assembly.
