There is no threat to Sindh if the federation issues directives as per the constitution for betterment of the province, said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Sindh leaders.
So far no directive had been issued under Article 149, PTI Sindh Chapter President Haleem Adil Sheikh, Opposition Leader in Sindh Assembly Firdous Shamim Naqvi and other PTI Members of Provincial Assembly (MPAs) said while addressing a press conference outside the Sindh Assembly.
We want to ask Raza Rabbani why Bilawal’s maternal grandfather kept Article 149 in the constitution, if it was so bad, Adil said.
Under this article the federation has only to issue direction for improvement of the situation. However, so far this article has not been implemented, he said.
If the federation issues any direction for the betterment of Sindh, it should not be considered a threat, Sheikh said.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in his statement has proved that he is not a follower of Benazir but instead a follower of Altaf Hussain, he said. Altaf had talked about Jinnahpur and Bilawal talks about Sindhu Desh, Sheikh added.
Strong provinces are guarantees of a strong Pakistan, he said. Those who are talking against Sindh are the enemies of Pakistan, and to talk about breaking Pakistan is treason, the PTI Sindh chapter president said.
This is not 1971 and this is not the Pakistan of Bhutto, rather it is the Pakistan of the ‘Captain’, he said. Some corrupt politicians are issuing such irresponsible statements to save their own skins, Sheikh added. Zardari had raised the slogan of ‘Pakistan Khappay’, and now people know that by ‘Khappay’ he wanted to sell Pakistan, he said. The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has sold the whole of Sindh to the Omni Group and Zardari Group, Sheikh said.
The opposition made a circus in the parliament during the address of the president, the previous day, he said. PPP is proving itself an anti-country party, Sheikh added. Their negative talks were being highlighted by the Indian media, he said. Nawaz Sharif had also shown his enmity to the country, PTI Sindh Chapter president said.
The Sindh government wanted to hide its failure under the issue of Article 149, he said. We will protest against the PPP government, which has given diseases like AIDS to Sindh, Sheikh said.
In the end, he asked Bilawal Zardari to tender an apology before the nation for his statement.
