Sindh Minister for Information, Local Government, Housing & Town Planning, Religious Affairs, Forest and Wildlife Syed Nasir Hussain Shah has said that although Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah was conducting an inquiry into the deaths in Karachi, a judicial commission should also be set up to find out the facts in this regard.

The provincial information minister said it should also be known who was capable and who was not. He said this while addressing a press conference on Thursday. Sindh Education Minister Saeed Ghani was also present during the press conference.

Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said that although the focus of the Sindh government was on preventing the spread of the coronavirus, but some people were forcing them to respond to their negative and baseless statements. The provincial information minister said those were the people who did not tolerate the words of praise for Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah. "They are doing anything productive themselves and not letting us to do it," he said.

Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said that from the first day the Sindh government tried to go along with the federal government, but some federal ministers and spokespersons kept on making such statements that spoiled the whole environment. The provincial information minister said there should also be an inquiry through the Judicial Commission as to whose negligence was causing the rapid spread of coronavirus.

He said the fact should be brought to light as to who was telling the truth and who was lying. Syed Nasir Hussain Shah also asked the media to show the facts but not just what was happening in Sindh province. Media should cover what was happening all over Pakistan, he added.

The provincial Information Minister said the incident of firing on traders by the administration in KP was not so much highlighted, whereas small protests of traders in Karachi was being highlighted repeatedly. He said the Sindh government was well aware of the problems of the business community and was taking all possible steps for their betterment, including tax relief but the business community was protesting as they were being incited by opponents.

Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said Sindh government had also written to the federal government in this regard that the taxes of the business community should be waived and the loans be rescheduled and whatever other incentives possible should be given to them.
