Now PML-N will form govt in Sindh: Saad Rafique

KARACHI: Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique on Monday said that the PPP-led government in Sindh has left the province in dire straits, adding that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz will give people a better alternative in terms of leadership.

The federal minister was addressing a gathering in Hyderabad, where he said that those who take votes from people should also deliver.

He said that his party when assuming charge had promised to change the country. “Today, terrorists are fleeing from the country, security forces are driving them away, the country’s coffers are filling up and terrorism is coming to an end.”

Rafique said that the country’s condition is changing but the people of Sindh are in the same state.

“People of the province, first endured the authoritarian rule of Musharraf, then for 10 years ‘Zardaris’ ruled them, they don’t even have a system for public transport,” he said.

Saad Rafique said that his party will form a government in Sindh with the help of the votes of Sindhis in the next elections.

“PPP cannot win this time playing the victim card,” he said, taking aim at the political rival party.

PPP leader Mola Bakhsh Chandio said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s announcements are based on 'dishonesty' and they hold no substance.

The provincial minister was talking to media in Hyderabad, where he said that the centre should fulfill the demands of Sindh.

“Now the elections are near, they have remembered Sindh all of a sudden,” he said, adding “they now see the garbage, where they have been since four years?”.
