Restoration of commissionerate system part of PPP manifesto: Minister

Federal Minister for Law Senator Moula Bux Chandio has said that the restoration of  commissionerate system is  a part of the manifesto of Pakistan Peoples Party and the same is being restored in Sindh like other provinces of the country. The restoration of commissionerate system had been delayed in Sindh due to consultation with other allies of the provincial government, the Minister said  while talking to media persons after meeting with President Jamiat Ulema-i- Pakistan Sahibzada Dr. Abul Khair Muhammad Zubair here at his residence on Saturday afternoon.
The Minister accompanied by  President PPP Women Wing Sindh Ms Shagufta Jummani, Sindh Minister for Fisheries Zahid Ali Bhurgari and Central Coordinator PPP Youth Wing Aajiz Dhamra said that PPP believed that the nazim system of the Local Government, which  was introduced during  (Retd) General Musharraf’s regime  is in conflict  with the Constitution and  provincial autonomy, therefore amendments are necessary to make the Local Government System viable and provide benefits to the masses.
He said that progress and prosperity of the country fully depended on continuation of democratic system as well as promoting positive criticism instead of  destabilising  an  elected government.
Those who did not resist the ten years long dictatorial regime, are now demanding the holding of fresh or mid-term elections just after three years of the present elected government of PPP, the Minister said. He added that  PPP leaders and workers have no fear of such demands of political alliance as since the government of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the party leaders and workers have successfully faced and foiled such  political alliances with the cooperation of people of the country.
The Minister said that Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif is trying to derail the democratic system of the country but he would not gain fruits in his efforts.
Responding to a question about Karachi situation, the Minister said that maintaining law and order is the responsibility of all and there is  need of due role by  all political and religious parties of the country.
“We do  not think MQM as our opponent and we  have appealed to MQM leadership to extend their cooperation to  the government in restoring peace and tranquility in Karachi,” the Minister said and added that PPP had made an alliance with MQM for restoration of peace in Karachi.
Replying to another question, the Minister said that PPP has deep respect for  judiciary and always struggled for the restoration of  an independent judiciary in the country.
About his meeting with Dr. Sahibzada Abul Khair Muhammad Zubair, Senator Moula Bux Chandio said that he has spiritual relations with him therefore he came to his residence to meet him.
JUP Chief Dr. Sahibzada Abul Khair Muhammad Zubair  on the occasion said that the government should take stern action without any discrimination against those who created terror in Karachi. The people of Karachi and Hyderabad  are fully aware of those elements who introduced the politics of dead bodies only to achieve their personal goals, he said and advised that PPP should not enter into agreement with such groups.
He also demanded the government to address the issues of the people particularly the load shedding which has made the life of the people miserable.
The other JUP leaders including Haji Moinuddin Shaikh, Nazim Ali Arain, Dr. Younus Danish and Ibrahim Shaikh were also present on the occasion. APP
