ISLAMABAD Special Assistant to PM on Broadcasting and Information Firdous Ashiq Awan on Wednesday said that the political leadership in Sindh is “engaging in divisive politics” at a time the country is battling the coronavirus outbreak. The premier’s aide on information said that the Sindh government representatives are “dividing the nation”. “The National Coordination Committee made decisions to ensure everyone is on the same page,” said Awan, adding that except for Sindh every province followed the decisions. “The Sindh chief minister is creating fear instead of giving hope,” she said. She said the Sindh government, “in the exercise of its autonomy, must not forget its responsibilities”. “It must think of the poor people who have been forced to go hungry.” “What did you achieve from the lockdown? There were more deaths,” she said, adding that the province had recorded more cases in proportion to its population. Dr Awan said that there is a lapse on policy implementation in Sindh, adding that the provincial government should “witness firsthand the realities on the ground”.
