KHAIRPUR: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz activist Darshan Lal Lalwani has said the party’s Sindh minority wing office-bearers have failed to resolve problems of the province’s minorities for the past four years and only kept themselves busy in photo sessions.

Mr Lalwani, president of PML-N minority wing Khairpur chapter, told journalists here on Friday that the party’s minority workers had become disappointed in the leadership. They were harassed when they raised voice for their rights, he said.

He said the federal government had announced a package for minority wing some time back. Punjab’s minority wing did get a package but nobody knew about the package for Sindh; when they asked the leadership about it they were told that their files had been misplaced, he complained.

He said that such discriminatory policy was intolerable and urged former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to take action against leaders of the Sindh minority wing and reconstitute it.

PML-N leaders Naseer Detho, Sohrab Shaikh and others were also present on the occasion.
