ANP decides to give notice period to Sindh govt

Shahi Syed says despite ANP’s unconditional support to the government, party continuously neglected.

KARACHI: Awami National Party (ANP) Sindh on Sunday decided to give the Sindh government a period of one month to fulfil its demands after which the party will consider leaving the coalition.

According to Express 24/7 correspondent Sabeen Agha, the decision, which was taken at a think tank meeting of the ANP at the Bacha Khan centre in Karachi, came after the party expressed no-confidence in the role played by the ruling Pakistani Peoples Party (PPP).

During the meeting, ANP Sindh President Shahi Syed said that despite ANP’s unconditional support to the government, the party had been continuously neglected, particularly when it came to sanctioning development schemes.

The ANP think tank said that the PPP had failed as a trusted ally while also expressing reservations on the ongoing census in the province.

ANP Sindh will be presenting this proposal to the central command of the party in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, after which the demands will put forth to the Sindh government.

Shahi Syed is also expected to hold a press conference in this regard.
