At a press conference on Monday, opposition leader at the National Assembly of Omar Ayub Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and its leadership, especially President Asif Ali Zardari and chairman Bilawal Bhutto.
He accused them of breaking records of corruption in Sindh and claimed that both Zardari and Bilawal were selling Sindh’s water.
Ayub expressed his rejection of the current government, led by PPP, and condemned President Zardari and said, “Zardari calls himself the president, but we do not recognize this installed government. Zardari did not say anything worth today.”
He continued, ”PPP has broken records for corruption in Sindh. Whether it’s Asif Zardari or Bilawal Bhutto, both of the province of water sell. The government has been involved in supporting the controversial PECA (Prevention of the Electronic Crimes Act) with Form 47. There is a gang of notorious criminals in Punjab with Dr. Usman at the helm. The current government has failed financially. “
Ayub also criticized the government’s handling of the economy and said that corruption had reached unprecedented level.
He also noticed, “They are celebrating a reduction in inflation, but come, go with us and see if inflation has actually gone down or risen. In the last two years, the special investment advice has achieved zero results and our questions remain unanswered. The IT sector has been decimated and there is no foreign investment.”
The opposition leader also raised concerns about security in Balochistan and said: “There is no security scheme in different districts in Balochistan. Due to negligence, our soldiers sacrifice their lives. The basic leader of PTI has always said the army belongs to us, but today Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi are involved in false cases. “
He continued to highlight the current state of the nation and said: “Our leaders and workers are political prisoners. 20 million young people have left the country and $ 27 billion has been sent abroad. “
PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan also approached President Zardari’s speech and said, “Today we saw Zardari’s legacy behind Benazir Bhutto’s picture. In his speech, Zardari could not prove that there is democracy in the country. Zardari did not pass the opposition chambers and is still a controversial president.”
He added, “Our protest, as seen today, will continue. Decisions are made outside parliament and parliament is not prioritized. We have already stated that the assembly is incomplete and this should be recognized.”
Also talk at the press conference condemned opposition leader in the Senate, Senator Shibli Faraz, the passage of Laws in the Senate and said they lacked both moral and legal legitimacy. “The Senate is not even representative of all provinces,” he said, adding, “How can elections take place, and bills are adopted without the representation of a province?”
The leaders of the opposition continued to express their dissatisfaction with the government’s approach to governance and the ongoing political situation in Pakistan. They underlined the need for a more responsible and transparent system along with righteous representation and financial reforms to tackle the country’s growing challenges.
