MQM's APC: In rare move, PML-N and PTI join forces to oppose Sindh local govt act

[PaklovesTurkiye]

The Opposition parties in Sindh raise voices against the local government bill passed with new amendments.

• All major political parties in Sindh express concerns against local govt bill.
• Parties attend APC called by MQM-P where they reject local govt system.
• They reject Sindh government's claim that proper consultations were held in run-up to bill's passage.

The passage of the revised Local Government Bill 2021 under the Sindh government has brought closer different political parties of the province, even arch-rivals PML-N the PTI.

Sindh's major political parties rejected the local bodies act passed with new amendments by the Sindh government during an All Parties Conference (APC) called by the MQM-P Saturday night.

According to the act, the mayor's election will be conducted with a show of hands and only elected officials will be able to run for the post. The mayor will be the co-chairman of the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board and chairman of the Solid Waste Management Board.

The APC was held at a local hotel in Karachi where various leaders spoke out against the current system of local governments. The Awami National Party (ANP) also attended the conference.

MQM's Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said that one could not expect anything good from the PPP.

"If courts and concerned institutions fail to come up with the right decision, people will have to take to the roads," he threatened.

"The PPP has made the entire province sick; the urban areas of the province are in the ICU," he added.

Addressing the moot via video link, Federal Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar said the local bodies system in Sindh is the worst in Pakistan while the one in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is relatively better.

PML-N's Miftah Ismail chimed in by saying that the PPP had failed to empower the people of Sindh via the 18th Amendment.

ANP's Shahi Sayed expressed support for the 18th Amendment but said it had not devolved power to the grassroots.

The conference concluded with a seven-point joint resolution that demanded the financial and administrative powers be transferred to local bodies.

The political parties agreed that a committee consisting of representatives from all parties present in the APC should be formed. The new body will formulate its recommendations and send them to the provincial assembly, the joint declaration states.

The political parties including the PTI, PML-N, PML-F and ANP rejected the Sindh government's legislation on local bodies at the conference.


Opposition parties contradict Sindh govt's claim about consultations on SLGB 2021

Earlier talking to media at the assembly premises after the approval of the LG Bill, the leaders of the Opposition parties in the provincial assembly condemned the provincial government against what they called an unconstitutional move.

"The Sindh Local Government Act 2013 was already in contravention to the constitution of Pakistan particularly its Article 140-A that provided for devolution of administrative, financial and political authority to local government while PPP Sindh government further usurped limited powers and functions of the third tier of government through controversial amendments," said Leader of the Opposition in Sindh Assembly, Haleem Adil Sheikh.

"The PPP placed and approved the unconstitutional amendments in violation of the rules and procedure of assembly and repeated the same when SLG Bill 2021 was presented in the assembly for reconsideration after objections by Sindh Governor."

MQM-P's parliamentary leader Muhammad Hussain contradicted Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and provincial ministers Nasir Shah and Saeed Ghani's statements on Sindh government holding consultations with Opposition parties.

He said that if they intended to consult Opposition, they would have constituted a parliamentary committee that was representative of all parties sitting in the house.

He said that the speaker the Sindh assembly has not remained impartial and all Opposition parties had vowed to resist the dictatorial approach in the Sindh assembly where opposition benches were declined of their rights and privileges.

He added that the Opposition would not let the government ransack the LG system.

Good to see MQM waking up from her slumber. PTI-MQM combo is good for Sindh.

Even PML-N is joining. Interior Sindh needs alternative as well. Allies in Sindh should not be kept in Opposition all the time. It's embarrassing.

If PPP again let to win for 4th consecutive time in Sindh Province....Don't know what will happen but one thing is for sure. People will be asking VERY NAKED TOUGH questions to Pindi, at the very least.

No party should ever be allowed to think she is INVINCIBLE.

PPP is ruling in Sindh for straight 13 years - Would you guys believe this?

Joint political front/assault against PPP is need of the hour.

So the ultra liberal feudal ppp wants to continue with the civil martial law administration instead of a democratic transition of financial and admin authority to the elected mayors?


Why insist on governing the cities through beaurucrats and not by elected representatives? Aside from that what has surprised me the most is n league joining ranks of the govt to empower local bodies I mean they are the one who dissolved the city govts in favour of babus and going by their track record they can't afford to run the country with mayors calling the shots.

According to the act, the mayor's election will be conducted with a show of hands and only elected officials will be able to run for the post. The mayor will be the co-chairman of the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board and chairman of the Solid Waste Management Board.

Bhuttos are not known for putting up with dissent so they seem to be paving way either for commissioner Karachi or the minister concerned or for both to usurp admin powers of the mayor . I blame mqm for messing things coz when ppp and n league was legislating against the musharafs local bodies system they were also part of the gang who voted in favour of that bill to fetch some federal ministries.

They also must join hand with other political parties like psp, jamat e Islami for takle or kickout this mennes named ppp this is a group voltures a group of crimenals right now Karachi situation is like a person on a ventilator...

 

[Aesterix]

Anything and everything the PPP government does is aimed at marginalising us Mohajir people, who are a majority in Karachi.
What kind of democracy is this, in which majority has no say and no representation?

Morad Ali shah said yesterday in sindh assembly that you will always be a minority so behave like one.



Creation of Pakistan is the biggest mistake of Hindustani musalmans... Quaid and Liaquat left us to the wolves.

I have said this before and I am saying this again... Our future is not in Pakistan.. Try to get some skill and leave this country and don't come back. If you want to stay despite being discriminated and looked down upon then its better to move to Punjab.

Lets see what happens in LG elections....

Had PPP performed Karachiites would never have had any issues with PPP.....but 13 years passed, they screwed up Larkana as well - forget Karachi.

Pmln is a B team of PTI in karachi and both of the parties are selected parties of central punjabi military establishment and bearucracy. Military always plays divide and rule game in sindh. I hope sindh shall be united under the pti or ppp. One of them should conquer all sindh but the problem is establishment does not interested to give power to karachiites and wants to control them through ppp.
In future PSP, JI and pmln will be partners in karachi and MQM and pti will be in alliance. PPP and anp will form alliance.
