LARKANA:Sindh Minister for Works, Services, Prisons and Religious Affairs Syed Nasir Shah said on Saturday that rulers had taken 100 U-Turns despite the fact they had not yet completed 100 days.
He said the rulers claimed that they would not give NRO but would conduct accountability was in fact shifting the attention from real issues. He said the government had brought tsunami of destruction and price hike.
While talking to reporters at local press club here today, Shah said that PPP leadership had always faced courts and even now prepared and asked if article 24 of NAB was only for PPP and PML-Nawaz leadership.
Shah also asked why no action was being taken against the PTI partners. He said 70% people were included in the government who were elected in the past as well and PTI leaderships had been calling them bandits in the past. He said rulers cannot give NRO neither can they dictate Supreme Court or JITs. Shah said how can Aleema Khan turn her properties of 1.5 billion into white money which were built after Shoukat Khanum Hospital donations, he alleged.
Shah said Sindh Governor Imran Ismail was making his position political and he should work under the law. He said 70% infrastructure of Sindh was destroyed during mega flood of 2010 and then rains also brought havoc which was restored by previous PPP governments, he claimed. He said tiles are not being laid in any jail for any VIP but these were fixed previously in Karachi jail. He said air-coolers will be provided to inmates during summer season and hospitals of prisons will also be improved. He confessed that corruption is rampant in jails for which new IG has been posted, he added.
He said boundary wall of Larkana Central Jail will soon be constructed and it will be upgraded to resolve its issues. He said number of under trial prisoners is increasing day by day and they are also being produced in the relevant courts regularly but pace of their cases is very slow.
Earlier, Nasir Shah visited Bhutto leader’s graveyard in Garhi Khuda Bux, showered rose petals at their graves and offered prayers for the departed souls.
