‘Mumtaz and Jatoi run the biggest land mafias of Sindh’

Memon, has alleged that Nawaz Sharif is trying in vain to conquer Sindh by including land mafia members.

KARACHI:


Former information minister, Sharjeel Inam Memon, has alleged that Nawaz Sharif is trying in vain to conquer Sindh by including land mafia members like Mumtaz Bhutto and Liaquat Ali Jatoi in the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N).

“Mumtaz and Jatoi are the biggest land mafias of Sindh,” he said. “A lot of forest land has been freed from under Jatoi and the rest will also be taken back.”



Memon was talking to the newsmen at the office of Karachi Union of Journalists (KUJ) on Monday. The secretary-general of Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists, Amin Yousuf and the MPA Imdad Pitafi was also present.

“Nawaz does use electricity shortage to his advantage in politics, but he abandoned the Thar Coal project himself,” he said. “If Thar project had been completed then Pakistan would have been able to export electricity by this time.”

Memon said that everyone knows what kind of development was going on in Punjab. “Only Lahore was being developed while Hamza Shabaz had become a de-facto chief minister.”

While replying to a question about the disqualification of federal minister Rehman Malik from the Senate by the Supreme Court, Memon said that only Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) members were being tried.
