SHIKARPUR, July 18: Imtiaz Ali Shaikh, president, Sindh Democratic Alliance (SDA), has supported the reforms’ package introduced by the government but he opposed the matters related to legislation and amendments being made in the Constitution because it was the power of the elected parliament to do so.

Speaking at a press conference here on Thursday, Mr Imtiaz said that the government was trying its best to restore ‘real and sustainable democracy’, and in this regard necessary rules and regulations required to elect able representatives were framed.

He opposed the presidential form of government saying that the SDA believed in a parliamentary form of government.

He said that to assure sway of the provinces the speakers of the national and provincial assemblies should be included in the National Security Council.

Earlier, the SDA president; the SDA women’s wing president, Rahila Tiwana; Nida Rashid, Babal Khan, Fehmida Mangi, Nighat Zeb, and other women leaders belonging to the party addressed a convention of its women workers at the residence of Haji Kora Khan Bhayo.
