Minister bursts over PPP’s Sindh performance

Staff Report

ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib Wednesday said despite being in power in Sindh since last 13 years, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) could not improve the socioeconomic condition of the province.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s only qualification to become the party chairman was a ‘Parchi’, he said in a statement. Farrukh said there was no government in Sindh as people of the province including Karachi, Larkana, Sukkur and Hyderabad were left at the mercy of mafias and profiteers. He said the Sindh rulers were in slumbers and people were in the throes of inflation even during the month of Ramazan.
He proposed the Sindh government to spare sometime from the protocol of Bilawal and his family, and visit the vegetable, fruit and general markets of the province to see how the innocent people of Sindh were being fleeced. He said it was a matter of concern that the prices of essential commodities in Sindh were 85% higher than the normal market prices.
