Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Ali Zaidi announced a march against the PPP government in Sindh next month on Sunday, stating that the PTI was now spearheading efforts for economic revival of the province, especially Karachi, and for that, “the expulsion of Asif Ali Zardari from power is imperative”.
“The expulsion of dacoit, which is Asif Ali Zardari, is inevitable now for Karachi to rebuild and Pakistan to prosper,” he stated while adding that the port city will not flourish till the PPP was in power.
Zaidi further stated that the joint opposition in Sindh will begin a march from Ghotki on Feb 26 — a day before PPP’s planned long march to Islamabad — to “bring about much-needed change” in the province.
He fired a broadside at the PPP government in Sindh, saying it always ran away from accountability “and that is the reason it did not nominate a single member from the opposition to the Public Accounts Committee.”
He went on to add that the parties taking a part in the protest would unveil their demands at the end of the march that will culminate in Karachi.
Zaidi claimed his party would dethrone the PPP in the next general elections, saying “our ascension to power is inevitable given the dismal performance of the PPP-led government in Sindh for years.”
Asad Umar, while speaking on the occasion stated that the people in Sindh had been suffering under the PPP rule for 13 years as they had been “deprived of basic rights” of health and education.
“This is impossible in 2023 to let these robbers rule the province. We have now devised a strategy to tackle this problem, which will be visible soon,” he stated.
The PTI minister while criticizing the passage of amended local government bill from the Sindh Assembly, stated that the recent promulgation of a “black law” had revealed the plans of the PPP, saying a full-fledged campaign will be launched soon to counter the measures taken by the provincial government.
