As protests continue against Sindh Peoples’ Local Government Ordinance (SPLGO) 2012, Sindh National Party (SNP) announced on Tuesday to observe hunger strike outside Karachi Press Club until the said controversial bill was withdrawn.
Addressing a press conference at the press club, SNP Chairman Ameer Bhambhro said that while one side of the province was protesting against the dual administrative system, the provincial lawmakers had the courage to cast away 50 million voice of Sindh and passed the controversial ordinance most Sindhis had rejected already.
Bhanbhro said people had given mandate to the ruling Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) so that it could finish terrorism and especially to restore peace in the province.
He said that Parvez Musharraf’s ordinance of 2001 was modified and enforced on the people of Sindh in the name of democracy. He said that following a dictator’s policy by the PPP was synonymous with causing a disgrace to Benzair Bhutto’s grave.
Bhanbhro said further that his party had filed a petition in Supreme Court, on 18 September 2012, against the duel system of government in the province but to no avail. “Even after protesting in Sindh, Supreme Court is yet to take notice of this grave issue,” he concluded.
