KARACHI, June 8: The Pakistan People's Party on Tuesday apprehended that the recent change in Sindh government will bring no improvement in the overall law and order situation in the province , as the 'imposed' Sindh governor will remain the centre of power.

A PPP spokesman, commenting on former chief minister Ali Muhammad Mahar's resignation, said people were not surprised at the CM's resignation, as they already knew the fate of the "puppet imposed on them by undemocratic forces."

Mr Mahar was sent home exactly the way he was brought to the CM office, he said, adding that any new CM imposed on people of Sindh would meet the same fate. He said that any imposed setup in Sindh would be insecure, as people never supported undemocratic change in the province.

Criticizing the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, he said that the establishment was once again using its "agents" in Sindh to fulfil its 'nefarious' designs. "With the change of CM and provincial cabinet, it is now clear to masses that who were behind the bomb blasts in Imambargahs and killing of Mufti Nizzamuddin Shamzai," he said.

MMA: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal's Sindh president, MNA Asadullah Bhutto, on Tuesday said the resignation of Sindh chief minister was not enough as the nation was expecting resignations from military rulers and their supporters, for their failure to protect the life and property of the people.

He said the former Sindh government gave nothing to the people except poor law and order, price-hike, unemployment and slogans during its rule. He was talking to Ulema at Jamea Binori Town and Imambargah Ali Raza.

Praising the role of Ulema for peace and in guiding their followers at a crucial time, he said killings of the Muslims in mosques and Imambargahs was a conspiracy hatched by anti-Islam forces, but Ulema reacted timely and saved people from resorting to violence against each other.

SNF: Sindh National Front chairman Sardar Mumtaz Ali Bhutto said that the former Sindh government had failed in every aspect of governance and had caused much damage to the province.

In a statement, referring to Mahar government, he said that to save their jobs they scarified Sindh's rights, especially those pertaining to water and finance, adding that the government had also failed in providing security to the people.

Mr Bhutto accused the federal government of ignoring the law and order situation in interior of sindh, and said that nobody had taken notice of the insecurity of the people living there. He said that removing the chief minister would not solve Sindh's problems, and a 'total change' was required to save the province from further damage. -PPI
