KARACHI:

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members of Sindh Assembly have filed a resolution in the Sindh Assembly against the biased statement of Chief Minister Sindh. The resolution was submitted by Khurram Sher Zaman, Bilal Ghaffar, Jamal Siddiqui, Dr Imran Ali Shah, Raja Azhar, Shehzad Qureshi and Dr Seema Zia in the office of Secretary Sindh Assembly.

In the resolution, the PTI MPAs took the stance that the Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah made a speech in the Sindh Assembly, which according to them, was "against the state of Pakistan."

They said that CM Murad used the phrase "throw them out of the House.

" The movers of the resolution demanded of the CM to retract his statement. The opposition members claimed that the CM's speech in question tantamount to hate speech. Being the chief executive of Sindh, the chief minister should apologise on his biased and hateful statement.

PTI leader Khurram Sherzaman said that PPP is in power in Sindh, it is their responsibility to take the opposition into confidence. Sindh government should have talked to the opposition before bringing any law. Sindh government has provoked the opposition to protest.

There have never been such protests in the Punjab KP houses. Today, all democrats are against the PPP not only the political parties,he said.

The bill proposed by him has been rejected by all the stakeholders. Not only us but also the people of PDM have declared this law as black law.He expressed his views while addressing press conference in Sindh assembly.

He further added that Sindh government only wants to solve the problems of Bilawal.Leaders of PPP are becoming billionaires day by day on the other hand children of Sindh are dying of hunger and poverty in Thar. Education and health system has been destroyed. The only agenda of the PPP is to spread hatred. PPP has become a cancer for Sindh.

Sherzaman further said that the Prime Minister has been asked to take constitutional steps for Sindh. They (PPP) will destroy Sindh before the elections.

‘‘We have confidence in the Prime Minister's team, we are confident that Pakistan will move forward. This thief cannot compete with Imran Khan, any new political party will come to fight against Imran Khan. We are sobbing in Sindh province, our life has become difficult. We have realised that the people of Sindh want to get rid of them," the resolution said.

Reacting to the CM's speech, Sherzaman said it was an agenda to spread linguistic hatred in Sindh. Murad Ali is making the historic resolution of Sindh controversial for his nefarious political purposes.

Later on, Bilal Ghaffar, Parliamentary Leader of PTI in Sindh Assembly said that he condemned the statement of Chief Minister Murad Ali. "The CM says the opposition is ignorant, but we are not ignorant, we can expose the corruption of their government," he said.

"Sindh government fears that no other party will work for the development of Karachi. They live in a world of dreams. We PTI will continue to work all over Sindh. Civilian dictatorship is prevalent in Sindh. PPP has now become a security risk for Sindh," he said.
