KARACHI:Sindh Information Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah has said that the Sindh government would protest against the removal of members of Indus River System Authority which is against the law.
The provincial information minister said that the Sindh government had decided to write a letter to the federal government in this regard which would be sent in the next 48 hours. He said the federal government could not be allowed to take any such unconstitutional step.
Shah clarified that before removing the members of Indus River System Authority, the provinces must be consulted. The provincial information minister said that the federal government had given a message of non-compliance with the constitution by raising the issue of Indus River System Authority. He said that a protest letter would be sent to the federation by Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah.
He said that representative of Sindh was present in Indus River System Authority for a long time, adding that it was incomprehensible that under which law he had been removed. The provincial information minister said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had always talked about the rule of law, but since the party came to power, all their statements had denied it. He said that the issue of Indus River System Authority was of utmost importance to Sindh. Shah said that this decision of the federal government was completely against the constitution.
