General Secretary Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Sindh chapter and parliamentary party leader in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil has said that a change is due in Sindh in the month of March, but it is yet to been if it is a long march or a short march.
Addressing a press conference outside the Sindh Assembly here Wednesday, Haleem Adil said that Junior Zardari has threatened of a long march. He said when these people would go to streets, the people of Sindh would surely demand from them why they have destroyed the province.
The PTI leader said "we have seen that a 'prince' went to visit a hospital in a convoy of 30 vehicles." He said Gambat Institute of Medical and Health Sciences was a hospital, which was getting billions of rupees from the taxpayers' money.
He said modern machinery was purchased for it but there was no trained staff to run it, adding that in the first liver transplant surgery here both the patient and his donor died. He said there were six beds on which as per record 50 patients were treated daily, adding the doors of hospital were closed to patient during the visit of the prince.
Haleem Adil said Khairpur Medical College did not have required facilities and the future of its 500 students was at the stake. There is no facility of house jobs for these students.
The PTI leader said in Sindh Assembly there was a civilian dictatorship which was trying to suppress the voice of opposition. He said "now we will take to streets instead of protesting and raising slogans in assembly." He said in the House which had passed the resolution of G M Syed in favour of Pakistan, now the leader of the House said that he was seeing Pakistan drowning. He said instead of being ashamed now he said he stood by that stance. He said "a march would be held in the month of March, but let us see whether it is a short march or long march."
Haleem Adil said that in the year 2012 a project costing Rs 3 billion was initiated to upgrade hospitals in 41 Taulkas of Sindh and also to develop trauma centres. The government took a hasty decision to make trauma centres prefab hospitals and doubled the budget. He said the project had to be completed in six months by December 2012, but despite passage of seven long years it was yet to be completed.
He said to earn commissions and kickbacks machinery was purchased before even construction of hospital buildings and now this costly machinery is being rusted and wasted. He said in Sindh no institute was functional to take notice of mega corruption of rulers and take them to the task.
