Sindh CM, lawmakers stage sit in against K-Electric and federal govt

KARACHI:

Members of the provincial assembly led by Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah, ministers and other lawmakers on Wednesday staged a sit-in on a footpath opposite the assembly building, against KE and federal government for their ‘unjust policies’ causing prolonged loadshedding in Sindh.

During the half-an-hour-long sit-in, the protesters raised slogans such as Sindh ke sath zulm bund karo; Jeena hoga marna hoga, dharna hoga dharna hoga; Bijli do pani do, warna kursi chhor do.

The chief minister told the media that the federal government was responsible for the deaths which multiplied in the current heatwave due to prolonged loadshedding.
