KARACHI: Leader of Opposition in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh said Wednesday that Sindh was drowning in accumulated rainwater but town municipal officers (TMOs) were holding pool musical parties.

Addressing a press conference at Sindh Assembly, he said that the ruling party was least concerned about the plight of flooded Sindh. MPA Shahnawaz Jadoon and Insaf Lawyers Forum president Advocate Riaz Afandi were also present.

He also shared some videos clips and invitation cards of a pool musical party of all Taluka Municipal Officers in in Nawabshah. He said on one hand, Sindh was drowned into rain and gutter water while on the other hand, the local government department Sindh officers were holding pool musical parties using government funds.

He said those 30 officers were holding pool musical party two weeks back instead of planning for predicted monsoon rains. He said funds for rain emergency were issued in the same month. He said this party was held at Syed Farm House in a village of Zardari’s ancestors.

Haleem said those officers gave a bad name to Asif Zardari and action should be taken against them, otherwise, we will understand that Sindh ministers, chief secretary and Bilawal House were also involved in this scam.

He said in 2020-21, Rs2.14bn budget was tagged for rehabilitation department that was revised and Rs2.15 billion were spent. He said now in 2002-3, Rs1.83 billion were tagged. He asked where these funds were being spent.

He said the Sindh government meted out step motherly treatment to megacity Karachi. He said our government had got cleaned Nullahs of Karachi with Rs34 billion funds. He said after imported government came, those Nullahs were again filled with garbage. Haleem said DHA went drowned due to encroachments on Malir River. He said MQM was playing dramas in Karachi. He said Sindh CM should resign for his worst performance.
