Sindh Minister for Inform-ation, Syed Nasir Hussain Shah Saturday said everything that Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said in his press conference was based on facts. He said that the chairman PPP spoke not only about Sindh but for the whole country. He said that coronavirus was a problem not only of Sindh but for the entire country. He made these remarks while addressing a press conference.
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah and Education Minister Saeed Ghani were also present during the press conference.
Nasir said that businesses were not more important than people's lives. The minister said that the only reason behind the spread of coronavirus across the country was the incompetence of the federal government. "Because federal ministers are constantly misleading people, we have to respond them," he said. "From the beginning of the spread of coronavirus till date, we have been trying our best to save lives without wasting time on nonsense, but the federal ministers and federal spokespersons always try to distract our focus," he added.
Nasir said that Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari from the day one, when the first case of coronavirus emerged in the country, asked Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah to cooperate with the Prime Minister. Whenever the federal ministers were asked about their performance, they would start talking about baseless things, and whenever Sindh government talked about its rights, they would start talking about the 18th Amendment. He said if anyone wanted to judge the seriousness of the federal government, it would be enough to test their seriousness when the first case of coronavirus appeared in the country on February 26, there was silence and till March 13 the Prime Minister just tweeted once over this serious issue. Shah said that the federal government also did not take any initiative regarding the closure of mosques during the lockdown. It was the Sindh government that first took the clerics and the religious scholars into confidence and made decisions in this regard. If the federal government did not consider coronavirus a serious issue, why the country had been put under lockdown? Why the railway operation was being postponed again and again? Why the air operation had been closed?
He said that the air and railway operations had not been not stopped by the Sindh government. He questioned as to why the National Accountability Bureau did not investigate the flour and sugar scams. He said that although certain Union Councils in Islamabad were also sealed but no one said anything about those UCs. However when the same process was done in Sindh, everyone started censuring. He said the 18th Amendment and the National Finance Award had not been implemented in their true spirits. Shah said that the steps taken by the Sindh government regarding lockdown were being linked to the NAB cases without considering that whatever the Sindh government decided, the opinion of medical experts was paramount in all that. He said that they did not understand our words before and would never in future as well, but we would do everything possible to save the lives of masses.
