Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has rejected the new Local Government ordinance, calling it “Sindh’s division on administrative lines”. In a statement on Friday, Nisar said that through the ordinance, the rulers had protected their own interest instead of the province.
He said that by signing the ordinance “in the darkness of the night”, President Zardari had proved that he could even bargain for his birthplace when it comes to personal gains. He said that Sindh was not the personal property of any political party which could divide it. He said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), along with other Sindhi parties, would devise a strategy to protect the interests of the Sindhi people.
