Sindh Assembly member Moazzam Abbasi, who hails from Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA), has resigned as an MPA citing failure from the provincial government to assist flood victims in his Larkana constituency.
Moazzam Abbasi, who was elected an MPA from PS-11 Larkana, has sent his
resignation to Speaker Sindh Assembly Agha Siraj Durrani. In his resignation
letter, the MPA blamed the provincial government for its failure to assist
the flood victims in Larkana, a stronghold of PPP and from where Bilawal
Bhutto is elected an MNA.
“Sindh has been drowned in flood water owing to incompetence, corruption and
mismanagement of the provincial government,” the MPA from the opposition
party in Sindh said.
It is pertinent to mention here that heavy monsoon rains and subsequent
flash floods have affected almost 10 million people and killed almost 518
people in Sindh.
At least 518 people have lost their lives while 15,051 people sustained
injuries in flash floods triggered by heavy rains across Sindh.
In a statement, Sindh’s focal person for flood relief said that the
provincial government has established 1,975 relief camps for the
flood-affected people. Almost 581,010 victims have been shifted to relief
camps, the focal person added.
The focal person claimed that almost 9.18 million people have been affected
by the heavy rains and subsequent floods in Sindh. Rains and floods also
caused death to over one lakh animals.
