KARACHI: Opposition leader in Sindh Assembly Firdous Shamim Naqvi today (Friday) has admitted that the ruling party has failed to control inflation in Pakistan.
“I admit, our government has failed to bring inflation under control,” said PTI MPA Firdous Shamim Naqvi, while addressing a press conference in Karachi.
Commenting on the Kashmore rape incident, Firdous Shamim said that he supported the Sindh government’s decision to recommend the highest police award for ASI Mohammad Bux, who arrested the suspect by putting his daughter in danger.
He also criticized the Sindh government for the deteriorating law and order situation in the province. “The police is answerable to the Sindh chief minister,” he said, blaming Murad Ali Shah for the problem.
On the occasion, MPA Imran Ali Shah said that the provincial government has made no preparations for the coronavirus, wondering why the Sindh government has not conducted coronavirus tests for members of the assembly.
A few months earlier, Firdous Shamim Naqvi slammed PM Imran Khan and the power minister and a senior aide of the government for Sindh’s gas crisis.
Naqvi had said that he would ensure the prime minister, Energy Minister Omar Ayub and prime minister’s assistant on petroleum, Nadeem Babar, felt ‘ashamed’ that Karachi was facing a crisis of gas shortage.
