Chandio terms water and power minister’s policy ‘anti-Sindh’

Sindh information adviser Maula Bakhsh Chandio has described the policy of the federal minister for water and power as anti-Sindh.

In a statement issued on Saturday, he questioned why the masses were being dragged into official matters. 

He condemned the policy of the minister for power, saying that the people of Hyderabad had been facing an acute water shortage for the last two days. 

Chandio stated that Hyderabad was a stronghold of the Pakistan Peoples Party. He said that policies of some ministers were creating hate among the people of Sindh.

He warned that the people of his province should not be forced to come onto the streets.

Chandio has been very critical of the federal government’s policies towards Sindh.

On November 12, he had told Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar to stop worrying about Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s age and instead focus on matters of national security.

Speaking to journalists in Hyderabad, he had said that Chaudhry Nisar was one of those elderly men who liked to hide their age. “Bilawal's speeches are liked by the poor. You call him a kid we don’t mind. But why do you have issues when he calls you Chacha?”

The PPP leader recalled that the party’s founder, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, was also young but he changed the political landscape of the country. He said that Benazir Bhutto was also criticised for being inexperienced but she left her mark on politics. “Bilawal will be like Benazir. He will leave his mark,” he said.

He said that Bilawal was planning to undertake a trip to Punjab and that was making the government worry. “Abhi tu party shuru hui hai,” he said. “The PPP is still alive in Punjab.”— Online/News Desk
