KARACHI:
Muttahida Qaumi Movement (NQM)’s members of provincial assembly (MPAs)
in Sindh staged a protest against the Local government Amendment
Ordinance-2013 on Monday here, Geo News reported.
Addressing
MQM parliamentary committee meeting in Sindh assembly chamber, MQM
parliamentary leader, Syed Sardar Ahmad said that the existing LB
Amendment Ordinance was a black law through which the rural and urban
population of Sindh has been divided.
Following the
meeting, talking to media Syed Sardar Ahmad said the rights of the
people of Sindh have usurped through the Ordinance in question and
enquired why this Ordinance was not brought into the assembly? He said
that the recent LB Amendment Ordinance has been issued in retrospective
three months backdated.
MQM’s deputy parliamentary leader,
Khawaja Izharul Hassan on this occasion said that the common man would
not be empowered by the Ordinance, as the Sindh government wants to keep
its control and power intact through the bureaucracy. Pakistan People’s
Party (PPP) gives the specter of a rural party, he said.
He
further said that all the political parties in the province should get
equal opportunity for participation in the LB elections, while efforts
are afoot to derive desired results through designed Ordinance and added
perhaps, Sindh government wants that all other parties should boycott
the elections.
Later, a protest rally led by Syed Sardar
Ahmad was taken out in which large number of MQM workers also
participated. The rally voicing slogans against the black law marched
from assembly building to the Karahi Press Club.
