HYDERABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Sindh’s President Haleem Adil Sheikh has expressed hope that the new Mayor of Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (HMC) will be from his party.
Addressing the party’s public meeting held in Latifabad here late Friday night to mark 23rd founding day of PTI, Sheikh lashed criticized the leadership of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and said.
“From Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to Nawaz Sharif whoever championed the cause of democracy were actually brought to the power during the dictatorships”, adding that Prime Minister Imran Khan is the only leader who assumed power after over 2 decades of political struggle.
The PTI leader expressed hope that Sindh’s next Chief Minister as well as Mayor of HMC would be elected from his party. “We will contest the next election on the symbol of bat without entering in alliance with any party,” he vowed.
He shot back at the criticism of PPP Sindh’s President Nisar Ahmed Khuhro and warned him that his non-parliamentary language might draw a similar response.
He blamed the PPP’s provincial ministers for corruption and bad governance saying that more than half of the provincial cabinet was implicated in the cases of National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
