Pak Sarzameen Party Chairman Syed Mustafa Kamal on Saturday said a democratic martial law has been imposed in the country.
Local governments have been forcibly seized by the usurpers who are present in both the national and provincial assemblies of Pakistan.
In such a grim situation, there is no good of the 18th constitutional amendment which is harming the interests of the provinces, instead safeguarding them.
The Chief Minister illegally and immorally withholding the money under NFC Award after its release from the federation as if it’s his personal property and not of the people of the province, and no one dares to ask him why the entire Sindh, including its capital Karachi, is posing a dismal look despite receiving thousands of billions of rupees from the NFC every year.
Rs 8342 billion were given to Sindh over the years under NFC, and despite that the capital of Sindh is ranked 4th worst livable city of the world today. The problem of the rulers and the opposition is that if the elections to the national and provincial assemblies are delayed, then the constitution and Pakistan gets in danger. But when the public interest and solving public issues is concerned, all of them are least bothered and commit sheer violation of section 140-A of the constitution and unfortunately no one is looking towards this humiliation of constitution and public.
Our so-called democratic representatives, whether in the government or in the opposition, do not want to devolve resources and powers to grass root level so much so the chief minister Sindh informed the court in black and white that no delimitation or local bodies election can be held until census is conducted properly, but new law was enacted for elections and they were also allowed to hold elections in the said constituencies.
He said Prime Minister Imran Khan, who announced to provide Pakistan with best local government system, should take practical steps to prove the truth of his intention by holding local bodies elections first in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan where his party is in power and then persuade the Sindh Chief Minister as Prime Minister to hold local bodies elections in Sindh under the same system.
