Sharjeel defends Sindh CM against MQM charges
Advises his party’s foes to not politicise a natural calamity.
KARACHI:
Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon sprang to the defence of provincial Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah on Thursday, rubbishing the allegations levelled at the latter by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement.
Dismissing the MQM allegations as “baseless”, he advised the party’s leaders to refrain from point scoring on the issue of Thar. He pointed out that the MQM office bearers had themselves enjoyed ministries of their choice during the tenure of almost every other government.
“The parties should sincerely feel the problems faced by people of Thar, and should not politicise a natural calamity,” he asserted.
Praising the Sindh chief minister, Memon said: “Qaim Ali Shah is a seasoned politician and knows well how to tackle the crises situation in Thar.”
