ISLAMABAD: The profiteers are fleecing the public in Sindh with the support of the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) government, which failed to ensure good governance, despite being in power there for the last 13 years, an official said.

Reacting to PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s speech, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib said in a statement, the people of Sindh wanted to get rid of the PPP’s rule due to lawlessness, bad governance, inflation and corruption.

He asked Bilawal to share details of the initiatives taken by the PPP-led government during the last 13 years for the socioeconomic development of the provincial dwellers. Corruption was the hallmark of PPP’s 13-year rule in Sindh, he added.

The minister said almost all the public welfare-related projects, including clean drinking water, green line and cleansing of Nullahs were carried by the centre in Sindh.

Highlighting the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government initiatives for public, he said, Prime Minister Imran Khan has provided a major relief to the people by gradually reducing taxes on petroleum products.

It was the people who were paying the price of expensive agreements signed by the previous government of Prime Minister Imran Khan for electricity and gas.

Habib said that relief on every unit of the electricity is being provided to the masses on its more use in winter season for performing daily chores.

The present government is providing all possible facilities for exploring more gas reservoirs and setting up new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals.

The national economy was on the verge of default when the PTI government came into power, he said, adding that the prime minister has been tackling the challenges since 2018.
