Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice President and parliamentary party leader in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh has said that Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is criticizing the federal budget without reading it.
Talking to media along with opposition leader in Sindh Assembly Firdous Shamim Naqvi and PTI MPAs at Iqra University campus on Sunday, he said that last year the federal government paid Rs1500billion for loans obtained by previous governments and this year Rs2700billion were paid in the head of loans. He said after giving budget to the provinces, only Rs2000billion are left with the federal government. He said not a single rupee has been taken as loan from the State Bank of Pakistan.
He said according to reports of Moody’s and IMF last year our economy was growing. He said after the coronavirus our economy has sustained a loss of Rs3000billion. He said despite this our Captain gave a package of Rs1200billion to the poor people. He said Bilawal claims that there is a Tsunami and destruction, but he is not telling what his government has done for the poor people of Sindh.
Haleem Adil said our government is giving Rs12000 each to 12million families. He said Imran Khan is selected with the Grace Allah, the Almighty, for this nation. He asked what the defected and corruption-infected PPP chairman Bilawal has given to the masses. He said the party of Bilawal is teemed with corruption.
He said milk, cream, butter and butter oil is made cheaper. He said pulses, fruits, vegetables, dry fruits, fish and honey are made cheaper. Vegetable oil, spices, sugar, soybean, LED lights power supply, shoes, agricultural equipment, fertilizer, air travel, computers, and office equipment are made less costlier.
Opposition leader Firdous Shamim Naqvi said IGP Sindh is working as the IGP of PPP. He said SSP Rizwan has already issued a report against Sardar Tegho Khan Teghani, but now a peace award is giving to this Sardar which should be withdrawn. He said there are more than 40 FIRs registered against Sardar Tegho Khan including that of murders and kidnappings for ransom. He is involved in the killing of policemen.
Firdous Shamim said Imtiaz Shaikh is the partner of this Sardar Tegho. He said Tegho was charged in 2019 for murder of a DSP. He said this Tegho is involved in 70 murders including killings of 12 police officers.
He requested the Sindh High Court chief justice to take a suo moto notice of this issue. He said peace awards from Luddan Sahib and Sunaro Khan should be withdrawn. He said if we are murdered the FIR should be filed against Tegho Khan.
