HYDERABAD, Jun 05 (APP):Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) vice president and Leader of the Opposition in the Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh has said the real water thieves in Sindh are the provincial rulers and their head is Pakistan Peoples Party’s leader Asif Ali
Zardari.
He was talking to the media in Tando Allahyar district on Saturday,
where he reached to express solidarity with PTI leader Advocate Ali
Palh who was presented before the district and sessions court and granted
bail in a case lodged against him.
Hundreds of the PTI’s local leaders and workers from different areas
gathered at the court to express solidarity with advocate Palh.
“Ali Palh is the soldier of Imran Khan and he exposed the real water
thieves of Sindh,” said Sheikh.
He alleged that the tail-end growers did not get their water share, as the water was illegally given to the the lands of rulers and their families.
“The people of Sindh have rejected the false case prepared against Ali
Palh,” he asserted.
He alleged that the PPP’s rulers were stopping water supply to lands
of the political opponents besides implicating them in false cases.
The opposition leader said the corrupt ministers of PPP had ruined
Sindh while in the riverbed areas of the Indus river in Larkana and
Sukkur divisions, dacoits were challenging the government’s writ.
Sheikh said lawlessness was high in Sindh and fake cases were being
lodged against the poor people who protested against the provincial
government’s excesses.
“We will also commit the crime like Palh and we will also make videos
of water theft from the canals by politically influential persons,” he
warned, adding that they would soon issue a list of real water thieves
of Sindh.
He said that in order to divert attention from the dacoit rule and
the sale of villages to a housing society, the PPP rulers had started
the drama of water shortage.
He alleged that in Sindh there were illegal irrigation
water connections of the Zardari family and their friends.
‘There was no water shortage in Sindh but the rulers have created an
artificial water shortage,” he claimed while also blaming Chief
Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah for stopping water supply to
to his (Haleem’s) constituency in Karachi.
He said the allegations of Sindh government concerning the COVID-19
immunization vaccine were shameful and claimed that all the vaccines
to Sindh were being supplied by the federal government.
“The Sindh government hasn’t spent a single penny from Rs15 billion
COVID-19 fund,” he maintained.
He said the police in Sindh were politicised and PPP’s provincial government was
using it against political opponents while drugs were being
openly sold in Sindh and the future of new generation had been put at
the stake.
He also stated that they demanded a renewed population census and
reiterated that the PTI opposed the division of Sindh.
Speaking on the occasion advocate Palh said the Sindh Irrigation
Minister Suhail Anwar Siyaa and Zardari’s sister MPA Faryal Talpur
politically victimized him when he made a video of the water theft.
“The PPP has devastated Sindh and Bilawal has no right to fight the
case of Sindh,” he contended.
