NAWABSHAH, Jan 9: Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) lawmaker Nusrat Seher Abbasi on Wednesday asked the Sindh chief minister to step down for what she described as his “failure to control measles which has claimed over 550 lives in the province”.

Speaking at a measles awareness rally outside the local press club, MPA Abbasi said that it seemed that the government was least bothered about deaths of Sindhi people.

“Mourning is being observed in every house here but the chief minister is in deep slumber. When he will come out of slumber, he may find nothing to correct,” she remarked.

She said the masses had tolerated electricity, CNG, flour and other crises but could not afford losing their family members.
