KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf lawmakers on Monday continued their protest at the Sindh Assembly against increased load shedding in the city and poor governance in the province. Khurram Sher Zaman and Dr Seema Zia threw bangles at the entrance of the assembly as a sign of protest, lamenting that the provincial government has failed to improve the province’s condition. Zaman claimed that eight to ten hours of load shedding continued in Karachi but the government was yet to take the issue seriously. PPP MPA Nisar Khuhro, later talking to the media, criticised PTI chairman Imran Khan by comparing him to a dictator. He dismissed PTI’s protest as baseless. Last week, PTI lawmakers staged a protest against alleged corruption in the Sindh government outside the provincial assembly. “The incumbent government in Sindh has lost its moral standing,” PTI’s parliamentary leader Zaman had stated adding that the provincial government wanted to just loot and plunder Sindh. Zaman had earlier tried to move an adjournment motion in the assembly requesting the speaker to take up the issue and discuss the matter in the house. However, Khuhro opposed the motion and said: “It is technically unfit to be discussed in this session.” Later, the speaker dismissed Zaman’s plea amid opposition’s protest.
