The residents of servant quarters in Sindh Assembly were forced to spent Saturday night in the open as their apartments were demolished a day before to set up a parking area.
According to details, no other accommodation or compensation has been provided to the residents by the Sindh government and no prior notice was also issued asking them to leave the quarters.
The residents stated that no government official approached them for help.
They said contrary to their promise of ‘roti, kapra aur makaan’, the Sindh government snatched everything from them. The residents threatened the government of hunger-strike in case relief is not provided to them. One of the affectees, Abdur Rasheed, fell unconscious when he was shifted to a hospital for medical assistance. Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Haleem Adil Sheikh arranged a relief bus for the affected residents having a washroom and kitchen. Other PTI members of Sindh Assembly Khurram Sher Zaman and Seema Zia also reached the spot and expressed their sympathies with the aggrieved ones.
