Federal government not focusing on fighting terrorism, says CM Sindh

LARKANA: Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah expressed grief at the loss of lives in several terrorist attacks and the Bahawalpur oil tanker accident in the last days of Ramazan.

Talking to the media in Larkana, Shah said the government has put the issue of fighting terrorism on the backburner.

When asked why the government is not holding a meeting of the Sindh Apex Committee, he said the meeting is called when and as needed and has nothing to do with [the government’s tussle with] Sindh Inspector General of Police AD Khawaja.

The chief minister also stated that whether elections are held or not, the work of the Panama Papers case Joint Investigation Team (JIT) will have an effect on the country’s politics. 

Opposition leader in Sukkur

Talking to the media in Sukkur, Opposition Leader Khursheed Shah said it seems from the present circumstances that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif could not satisfy the JIT during his questioning.

“The premier should have given the same answers he gave in Parliament,” he said.

The government tried to make the JIT controversial, he claimed, and added that the prime minister should resign and appoint someone in his place.
