The opposition leader accused Sindh education minister of taking kickbacks in the matter of examination fees.
He said that hundreds of schools in the province have been closed and turned into cattle dens as PPP does not want any poor child to be educated and stand against them to raise voice for their rights. "If Sindh government cannot run the education sector it should be handed over to the federation," he said adding that federation is ready to improve the education system in the province.
