Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Tuesday warned of forming a forward bloc in Sindh if the Pakistan Peoples Party leadership failed to bring a change in the province.
Chaudhry, who is on a visit to Karachi, lashed out at the PPP leadership during a press conference held here earlier today.
"The government wants PPP to bring change themselves," he said, as he renewed his party's call for resignation of Sindh chief minister Murad Ali Shah.
"If PPP fails to bring any change in Sindh, and if Murad Ali Shah does not resign by himself, then the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf will need to take practical steps," Chaudhry warned.
The information minister dubbed the Sindh chief minister as the “jinn” of Omni Group’s money-laundering “magic lamp”.
“Murad Ali Shah is the jinn of Omni Group’s ‘magic lamp’ with which Zardari group, rulers in Sindh [launder] money abroad in the blink of an eye. He says to his party leadership: ‘what can I do for you, my lord?’” Chaudhry remarked.
“Bilawal is a child and children are non-political. I believe he has nothing to do with the situation in Sindh,” he added.
The minister claimed that the PPP’s senior leadership has contacted PTI to help in improving the conditions in Sindh.
“We want to give PPP opportunity to improve the situation in Sindh. If the money given to Sindh had been utilised honestly, then the province would have been completely [transformed] by now.
“Karachi is in dire straits. There’s no money for development projects,” he lamented.
“PTI Sindh stands with the people of the province,” Chaudhry added.
