even normal monsoon rains have exposed the inefficiency of the corrupt PPP government, Adv Vasand Thari
Hyderabad In a joint press statement, Awami Tehreek’s Central President Advocate Vasand Thari, Central General Secretary Advocate Sajid Hussain Mahesar, Ali Muhammad Parvaiz, Mahenoor Mallah, and Mumtaz Khoso said that even normal monsoon rains have exposed the inefficiency of the corrupt PPP government. There is no drainage system in various cities of Sindh, including Karachi, Hyderabad, Larkana, Mirpurkhas, Sukkur, Khairpur, Sanghar, Badin, Nawabshah, and Dadu. Due to the minor rainfall, drains and sewage lines have overflowed, and sewage water is flooded inside people’s homes.
They stated that under the guise of urban development, PPP mayors, town chairmen, MNAs, and MPAs have committed corruption worth trillions of rupees. Because of the rulers’ incompetence and corruption, cities have turned into sewage lakes. No institution—including NAB or the apex court—is willing to take action against the massive corruption carried out by the PPP rulers. Opposition parties that share power have also remained silent after securing their share of the loot. The people of Sindh have been handed over to a mafia.
Awami Tehreek leaders demanded that murder cases be filed against local administration officials responsible for the deaths caused by rain-related incidents in Sindh. They expressed deep sorrow over the deaths of more than 75 people who drowned in various parts of the Swat River, saying that the federal government is busy looting the resources of oppressed nations, and disappears whenever any constituent nation faces a crisis. The Swat tragedy has exposed the ugly face of the federal and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governments.
They further said the federal government is pushing for environmental destruction by building dams and canals on the Indus River. The Swat disaster is a clear example of climate change. The federal government must act sensibly and immediately scrap all environmentally destructive projects, including new dams and canals.
