Local bodies polls not be made issue of ego: Sharjeel
Says current elections would be the most unsystematic ones in the history of the country.

He added political parties have opposed party-based elections and have tabled a a resolution in National Assembly in this regard. So far as religious parties are concerned, they also have expressed their reservations regarding local bodies during Muharram, prestigious month of Islamic history, said Sindh information minister.
He concluded that coming ahead local bodies elections have become disputed before their due time.
