President Asif Ali Zardari has failed to convince angry coalition partner ANP over the issue of Sindh People’s Local Government Ordinance (SPLGO). Sources said President Asif Ali Zardari not only took the ANP chief Asfandyar Wali Khan with his delegation to UN General Assembly in New York, but also tried his best there to convince him on the issuance of local bodies system in Sindh. All efforts of the president to convince Asfandyar Wali went in vain. However, the ANP chief put the whole matter in the party leadership’s hands regarding a final decision on LG system in Sindh.
A few days ago, ANP leaders Senator Haji Adeel and Senator Afrasiab Khattak met the president and rejected the request by Zardari. The sources further said that two days ago, Interior Minister Rehman Malik also made efforts to convince the ANP during a meeting with Senator Zahid Khan, however, his effort also proved unfruitful. Senator Zahid Khan said the decision of the ANP regarding LG system in Sindh was final and the party would remain determined upon its decision.
