Economic, political crises: PML-N holds Zardari regime responsible

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz deputy secretary-general Ahsan Iqbal on Wednesday blamed the poor governance for serious economic and political crisis in the country. "Zardari regime's governance has thrown the country into serious economic and political crisis," Ahsan was quoted by PML-N central media office as saying. He further said the non-seriousness with which the government handled crisis in Sindh has once again exposed its lack of imagination and competence to deal with the country's problems.
He said the government has changed the system of governance in Sindh three times within a week bringing complete administrative anarchy. "Ordinances and notifications were issued like drama serials," he said, adding that the government must admit either it had made mistake by introducing Commissionerate System in Sindh or made the blunder by abolishing it as both can't be correct.
He further said that the 'U-turns' of PPP government in Sindh have clearly demonstrated that it lacks a coherent strategy to deal with most pressing problems. "Zardari regime showed its real face to the people of Sindh by agreeing to break the province into two systems of governance. Ahsan said the deals with MQM were negotiated by the President's men while the government of Sindh remained silent spectator in the process and kept out of the loop, which shows that Sindh is being governed by a 'proxy' government. He demanded that it should accept responsibility for the hundreds of killings, which took place as a result of government's 'U-turns' on Sindh issue.
"All major parties present in Sindh Assembly are in the government and if the situation is not improving it is because the ruling coalition partners are protecting the criminals," he said, adding that the government is shying away from briefing by security agencies because it fears the facts will come to light and the real culprits will stand exposed. Earlier, the major opposition party - PML-N had demanded of the House to let the country's intelligence agencies brief the House on the ruthless targeted killings in the country's economic hub - Karachi.
