MIRPURKHAS: Leader of the Opposition in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh has said that Pakistan Peoples Party is planning to occupy urban areas of the province through the amended local government law, and concentrate all powers in chief minister’s hands to allow Zardari to rule the province as he wished.

Sheikh said at a rally organised by his party, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, on M.A. Jinnah Road here on Friday that by imposing illegal laws Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah wanted to obtain all powers to allow land-grabbers to occupy entire Sindh.

He said the Sindh government wanted to run affairs through one-window operation under the ‘black’ LG law. The last remaining thing the Sindh government needed now was a minister for corruption, he said in a sarcastic tone.

Sheikh said later at a press conference that Murad Ali Shah had become a security risk as his government was violating the constitution.

A plan had been made under the ‘black’ LG law to occupy cities of the province and bring them under the total control of Zardari, allowing him to rule as he wished, he said.
