“I successfully defended such cases in Ghotki and Umerkot and got exonerated by the courts and I am hopeful that I will get clean chit from courts of law in these four cases in Karachi as well,” he maintained adding that Saeed Ghani was procuring a school desk in Rs 29000 and now Sindh government was purchasing the same desk in ten thousand, despite of that the minister claimed to be honest.
The opposition leader felicitated the nation on announcement of significant fiscal and relief measures for different sectors through Rs 237 billion package by Imran Khan and said that petroleum prices were on rise around the world but PM Imran Khan ensured relief to the masses in Pakistan.
Federal government reduced petroleum prices and electricity rates now Bilawal Zardari should take action to bring down rate of wheat flour in Sindh as per kg wheat price in Sindh is up to Rs 85 while the same commodity being sold in Punjab at prices as low as Rs 55, he added.
Haleem Adil said that besides tax relief to overseas Pakistanis, supportive measures for foreign direct investment and industrial sector and raise in Ehsaas cash support. Under the PM’s package 3 million students will get merit scholarships while graduates will be provided internship with RS 30000 stipend, he noted.
Previous governments of PPP and PML-N followed dictation by USA and allowed drone attacks in Pakistani territory for sake of money as 400 drone attacks were carried out in Pakistan during Zardari and Nawaz regimes, he stated adding that PM Imran Khan categorically said ‘no more’ to US administration that shows that the nation with self-respect has got a honest prime minister.
The opposition leader said that the gang of con men led by a fake Bhutto has left Karachi and they were marching on different cities and towns of Sindh by using taxpayers’ money and official resources. Sindh government has put all the cities under lock down because they’re so called Awami March lacked public support and only luxury vehicles could be seen in the lock down march.
He suggested PPP leadership to remove eggs and tomatoes from shops and stalls but don’t impose lock down in Sindh.
Haleem Adil Sheikh while addressing to Chairman PPP said “If you are son of Benazir Bhutto respond to cries of Perveen Rind in Nawabshah and ensure justice to families of 5 murdered people of Bhand community of Nawab Wali Muhammad town.”
