LARKANA, Jan 2: The leader of opposition in Sindh Assembly, Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, has said that the delay in the formation of the Sindh cabinet indicates weakness of the coalition partners of the provincial government.
Commenting on the formation of the Sindh cabinet, Mr Khuhro said that the delay had hinted at fragile and feeble nature of the Sindh government.
He said that the defectors were rewarded with ministries for changing their loyalties.
Talking to this correspondence, the People’s Party Parliamentarians’ leader said that by inducting turncoats in the cabinet, the government was promoting the culture of lotacracy, which was against the essence of democracy.
When asked whether the government had invited the PPP MPAs to attend the oath-taking ceremony of the Sindh ministers, he said that he had no information about it.
