Sindh Assembly passes 4 bills amid rumpus

KARACHI: Police Act 1861, Local Government Ordinance, and Commissionerate System Bill were passed.

The Assembly session began today morning with Deputy Speaker Shehla Raza in chair. MQM MPAs also demanded to be allotted opposition benches. After the session MQM leaders addressed a press conference and blasted the government. Faisal Sabazwari lashed out at the passage of the three bills. He said PPP government should accept the resignations of MQM ministers. He said there should have been debate on the bills but they were bulldozed.
He further said the future of the province has been jeopardized by passing these laws in the assembly. Meanwhile, local government bill has also been challenged in the Supreme Court. Online
