Thal canal to ruin
Sindh: PML(N)
KHAIRPUR- Former governor Sindh and acting president, Sindh,
PML (N) Mamnoon Hussain said that since the Thal Canal project
would cause economic devastation to Sindh, therefore, the PML
(N) rejects it.
He was talking to a group of journalists after a meeting of
PML(N) activists on Sunday. He said that the people of Sindh
were honorable enough to uphold the principles of democracy
and felt pride in being anti-dictators. He opined that by
participating in the LB elections political parties had
committed a blunder and got their men elected as Nazims and
councillors and today these Nazims had turned out to be
workers of President Pervez Musharraf's referendum.
He regretted that some opportunists got benefits and posts
during the Nawaz government, but later defected and joined
hands with Gen Musharraf. He said that however common workers
were still with Nawaz Sharif.
He said that Nawaz Sharif would certainly return to Pakistan
and would play a vital role in politics. He said that it would
not be people but "ghosts" that would caste votes in the
referendum.
Earlier, he offered condolence to Ghulam Haider Phulpoto on
his father's death and also held a meeting with local PML (N)
workers.
Talking to a representative delegation of the PML youth wing,
he said that time had proved the correctness of the PML(N)'s
decision for not taking part in the LB elections as those who
participated in it and got elected were repenting over their
decision.
PML (F): Pir Sadaruddin Shah Rashdi, leader of the PML (F), on
the directives of PML (F) chief Pir Sahib Pagara, has
appointed Abdul Majeed Arain as convener to initiate a
campaign in favour of the presidential referendum.
POLIO WALK: A polio walk was taken out on Monday from the
Shattar Chowk to the Lady Wellington Hospital. The DCO,
Khairpur, Mushtaq Memon led the rally. On this occasion, the
EDO, Khairpur, told newsmen that at least 969 mobile teams had
been formed to administer anti-polio vaccination from April 16
to 18 throughout the district.
