Leader of the Opposition in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh on Saturday lashed out at the Pakistan Peoples Party's provincial government for its alleged failure to remove the sacrificial animals waste in Karachi and other cities of Sindh on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha.
He also asked PPP to stop daydreaming about winning the general elections in Azad Kashmir. Haleem Adil Sheikh, who is also central vice president of PTI, expressed these views while addressing a press conference in Adil House.
Sheikh alleged that the Sindh Solid Waste Management Board authorities, who were in charge of disposing off the offal and animal waste were nowhere to be seen and waste had been left to rot, which according to him, had created the hazardous conditions for the people in various localities of Karachi city and other towns of the province. He said that he was ready to take the PPP ministers and advisors like Murtaza Wahab and Syed Nasir Hussain Shah in number of the localities of Karachi where animal waste was left to rot. "They are only busy in the photo sessions while people have been left to suffer due to deteriorating situations due to waste, garbage and dirt, he added.

He feared that in case of the predicted more monsoon rain within the next few days, situations in Karachi might turn chaotic and warned the officials to remove the waste of sacrificial animals as soon as possible to avoid the outbreak of any viral infection.
Haleem Adil Sheikh said that the high-ups of Sindh government were creating hurdles in that process by not taking the active part at the time when the people of other provinces were given the cards for the best healthcare facilities.
Sheikh said that Prime Minister Imran Khan is expected to hold another meeting with key PTI leaders from Sindh within next few days to make the important decisions to strengthen the party in Sindh. PM Imran would hold public gatherings in a number of the districts of Sindh in August.
