KARACHI: The Sindh Assembly on Tuesday approved a resolution against the federal government pertaining to load shedding in the province.
The Sindh Assembly session was held under the chair of Deputy Speaker Shehla Raza in which the resolution was presented by PPP leader Nisar Khuro. Earlier, provincial parliamentarians from the MQM and PPP termed load shedding in Sindh as an act of revenge being committed by the federal government.
Parliamentarians called for Sindh to be provided its share of electricity warning that failure to do so would result in protests.
MQM leader Faisal Sabzwari called for protests to be held if they would lead to the load shedding issue being resolved. PML-N leader Irfanullah Marwat said they would support Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah if he held protests like Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
Meanwhile, Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah announced to go before the Council of Common Interest over the issues of load shedding and payment of dues. “They (center) has faith in a meter reader and not elected representatives,” Shah said.
The Sindh Assembly session has been adjourned till Wednesday.
