Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Sindh President Dr Arif Alvi said this while talking to the media in Hyderabad on Wednesday. "NAB remains silent over the corruption of the Sindh government," he said.
Dr Alvi demanded that NAB start taking actions against corruption in Sindh. He warned that inaction on the part of federal anti-graft watchdog would allow corrupt politicians to contest the general elections and create problems. Referring to the ongoing wheat procurement in Sindh for which the provincial government has allocated Rs45.5 billion, the PTI leader said reports of corruption had started emerging even at the initial stage of the project.

"Officials will pocket billions of rupees [in the project]," he alleged. He asked NAB to initiate an inquiry before a large part of the public money was embezzled.
Dr Alvi said his party would not enter into a political alliance with any party in Punjab or Sindh. "We will go to the polls with the manifesto of the PTI only."
He praised former interior minister and Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz MNA Chaudhry Nisar, calling him a good person who had stuck in a wrong political party. "PTI can be the best choice for Nisar. We will welcome him to the party," Dr Alvi said.
The PTI leader informed the media that PTI Chairperson Imran Khan would start his visit to various cities of Sindh, including Nawabshah, Sanghar, Miprurkhas and Hyderabad, on April 5.
