PPP leadership & CM Sindh should adopt democratic, public attitude: Liaqat Baloch

LAHORE, Jan 19 (SABAH): Deputy Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, former parliamentary leader Liaqat Baloch has said that PPP leadership and Sindh Chief Minister should adopt democratic, public attitude. Through the Sindh Assembly, the people have rejected the Local Government Act as a black law. Federal and provincial governments are bound by the constitution. The people of Karachi have expressed confidence in the sit-in of Jamaat-e-Islami and the leadership of Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman. After the PPP and Muslim League governments, the PTI government has also joined in the increase of sorrows and worries in Karachi. The Sindh government should show democratic courage and empower rural and urban systems and civil rights. People across the country are calling the sit-in of Jamaat-e-Islami in front of the Sindh Assembly an expression of constitutional, democratic and public sentiments.

Liaqat Baloch said that at the end of Gwadar sit-in in “Give Right to Balochistan” movement, Chief Minister and Provincial Ministers, Chief Secretary signed a written agreement, announced implementation in front of people and media and justified all public demands, but now implementation is not being done. If the provincial government is helpless, it should declare its helplessness and not exploit the people.Officials of federal and state agencies are harming federal and national security through corruption, money laundering and abuse of power. No unilateral national security policy in the closed rooms of Islamabad would get things done, grievances of the people of Gwadar (Balochistan) must have to be listened to and restoration of the empowered local government system and civil rights has to be made part of the national security policy.

Liaqat Baloch said that Prime Minister Imran Khan could not bear the wrath of his minister Pervez Khattak and was building bridges of praise. To save his seat, Imran Khan is blackmailing his members, ministers and allied parties to cling to traditional politics and power. Every coming day and every passing moment Imran Khan is ringing the bells of the end of the government. It is in this uncertainty that the plight of the poor people is emerging. Increase in petrol/diesel, electricity prices, gas cut off have become a torment for the people. The people are suffering the consequences of incompetent government۔
