HYDERABAD:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former federal minister Liaquat Ali Jatoi has called for the dissolution of the Sindh Assembly. He made this demand while addressing a press conference in Hyderabad on Thursday, a day before PTI Chairperson Imran Khan is scheduled to speak in Tando Muhammad Khan.
Jatoi, who is also a former Sindh chief minister, urged the judiciary to dissolve the assembly and install an interim government. "It's a rubber-stamp assembly ... a product of rigging in the [2013] polls," he maintained.
The PTI leader was of the view that the caretaker government in Sindh to be formed before the 2018 general elections would not provide a level playing field to all political parties as it would be formed with the consent of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
PTI to hold power show in Hyderabad
He claimed that the PTI was becoming stronger in Sindh under the leadership of Imran and that the party would be able to elect its prime minister after the next general elections. For last few years, people in Sindh had been looking for a political alternative to the PPP, he said
"Now, there is an alternative leadership in the form of Imran Khan," Jatoi said, adding that only the PTI could bring a positive change to the country and serve people in a true sense. He claimed that Imran would abolish the system of corruption and nepotism in Sindh.
He accused PPP Co-Chairperson Asif Ali Zardari of plundering resources of Sindh for the last 10 years. "Zardari killed Mir Murtaza Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto," he alleged.
Jatoi also took a jibe at PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, claiming that he read written speeches in public meetings. "He [Bilawal] also looks frightened when he delivers such speeches," the PTI leader said.
