The provincial minister informed that his grandfather was a labourer who taught my father by working hard and later my father taught us with the same labor. He said that my father was killed in 1995.

Provincial Information Minister said that if doctors had long ago told that Nawaz Sharif’s treatment was only possible abroad, then he should had been allowed to leave the country long ago.

This was the first time that the case of one province was being prosecuted in another province, the provincial minister for information said. He said that the National Accountability Bureau had constituted the medical board for Asif Ali Zardari, but he was later forcibly transferred to jail. Saeed Ghani said that Faryal Talpur was also shifted from hospital to jail at 12 am on Eid night. The provincial minister said that revenge was being taken in the name of accountability. We only demanded to include personal doctors of Asif Ali Zardari in the medical board constitute for him. We never demanded that we be given any concessions or sent abroad,” the minister said.
Saeed Ghani said that Hafeez Shaikh had forgotten that he was the finance minister of Imran Khan’s cabinet. The provincial minister said that no one had heard the whole thing from Hafiz Shaikh. In fact, he said that when Asif Ali Zardari was president, he was the finance minister and the tomatoes were being sold at 17 rupees per kg at that time. He said Imran Khan created a new controversy every day, adding that the federal government had not paid a single penny so far out of 162 billion rupees to Sindh.
