Ruckus in Sindh Assembly over Rangers’ powers extension
KARACHI: The Sindh Assembly session on Monday was adjourned till 10 am Tuesday amidst chants and sloganeering by opposition MPAs, who were protesting against the PPP-led government for not taking up the critical issue of extending Rangers' special powers in the province.
The session was expected to resolve the matter of extending Rangers' special powers in Sindh, which had expired on Dec 6, with the federal government and Sindh at odds over the matter.
The discussion regarding the extension of special police powers for Rangers was 11th on the day's agenda. But speaker Agha Siraj Durrani had to adjourn the session after normal proceedings could not be held.
Importantly, no resolution was presented nor discussion held on the key issue of Rangers' powers.
