The new Pakistan People's Party (PPP) led government in Sindh would abolish the culture of giving extensions in services to give the younger generation an opportunity to serve the country.
"All sorts of extension in services should be banned and the old people should go home so that the young generation could serve the country," said PPP member of provincial assembly (MPA) Ayaz Soomro on sidelines of the Sindh Assembly session here on Tuesday.
Sindh Assembly session was held for giving a vote of confidence to the newly elected chief minister amid strict security arrangements made by the Sindh Assembly Secretariat.
No vehicles including that of MPA's were allowed entry in the Building while strict checking was conducted at various points. "The practice of giving extension in service to government employees should end now," added Soomro, who tops the PPP candidate lists for the provincial law minister slot.
Underlining priorities of the new establishment in Sindh province the PPP leader said the new government would specially focus on employments as the people of Sindh had been kept deprived of jobs for the last 12 years. He said there was a dire need to improve law and order situation besides early completion of developmental schemes.
Talking to media another senior PPP leader, MPA Zulfiqar Mirza claimed that some hidden hands, who had created Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q) and tried to bring the former ruling party to power again, were responsible for manhandling of Dr Ghulam Arbab Rahim. "They are those conspirators who had created the Q-League, who had rigged the February-18 elections to make the Q-League triumphant," Mirza claimed.
Mirza claimed such hidden hands were still active but the PPP would be the final winner. He said the "conspiracy" had started to be unfolded and the PPP would soon bring Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) back to the assembly. "MQM is hurt and emotional but we hope they will come back," he added.
Commenting on MQM's announcement for holding an inquiry into the Arbab incident, Mirza said the movement was an independent, sovereign and democratic party and was free to investigate the incident. "We don't endorse Arbab's manhandling... if they need we would help them in conducting the inquiry according to democratic norms," he said.
When asked whether the MQM pulled out from talks because it failed to get the desired ministries the PPP leader said no discussion was held on the issue of portfolios. Shazia Murree pin pointed law and order situation, inflation, shortage of water and wheat and women related issues needed to be addressed on priority basis. "We have a difficult task ahead and PPP would not confine itself to lip-service," Murree said.
Another MPA Agha Siraj Durrani said his party was in touch with the MQM and wanted it to come back. "We want them back and to join us in resolving problems of the people," he added. Makhdoom Jamil-uz-Zaman said he wished the vision of his party leadership for a national reconciliation could come true. "All should be brought to table talks... including PML-Q and PML-F it is the need of hour," he said.
