Imran was against NFC Award: Khuhro

Larkana: President PPP Sindh and Senator Nisar Ahmad Khuhro said on Saturday that President Arif Alvi did not sign three bills approved by joint sessions of the National Assembly and Senate for the second time about electoral reforms, elimination of the EVM machines and amendments in NAB law.

“Failure to ratify the approved bills is against the democratic and parliamentary system,” Khuhro said while addressing a press conference at the Larkana Press Club. He said that the Sindh had raised an objection over showing low population but instead of resolving it, the incomplete population was adopted in the parliament, but it was not brought into the CCI.

Khuhro said that Imran Khan was against the NFC Award who said in Sindh that the federation was facing losses. He said that the Sindh High Court decision regarding local bodies’ elections came as the court ruled that elections should be held on time as change in LB law and delimitations could also be made after elections.

He said in the first phase, 150 PPP candidates had been successful without a contest. Khuhro said that the previous government could not build the road from Jamshoro to Sehwan for which Sindh gave Rs7 billion and it did not pay even one rupee.

He said that there were bad signs of Imran Khan’s remnants on the country which needed to be removed and the PTI government had an ordinance factory which passed 35 bills in 15 minutes. The PTI did not recognize the decision of the Assembly and we changed their laws, tried to convince President Arif Alvi, who is not the president of the country but Imran Khan. He said that we presented the bill to change the law but not the ordinance. However, the president objected, as there are 4 lakh polling stations in Pakistan and the Election Commission on EVMs had objections.

He said that PTI says that Pakistanis across the sea had the right to vote but the court had decided that dual citizenship cannot be voted and they should be used only for voting. He accused Imran Khan’s PTI government as the follower of 52 B.
