HYDERABAD, Oct 23: Former Sindh Law Minister Muzaffar Sadiq Bhatti has said that the Sindh governor and the education minister had no constitutional authority to make changes in the “Sindhi teaching promotion and use of Sindhi language act 1972.”
In a statement faxed to Dawn here on Sunday, he said that the language bill was passed by the Sindh Assembly on July 7, 1972, and approved by the Sindh governor on July 16, 1972.
The former law minister in the Mumtaz Ali Bhutto’s caretaker cabinet was of the view that the above act could not be revoked by the governor through a notification.
He said that the governor’s decision had caused serious concern among the people of Sindh.
