KARACHI (Dunya News) – Sindh Information and Law Adviser Barrister Murtaza Wahab on Sunday said that the provincial government had Joint Investigation Team’s report didn’t mention the subsidy given to the sugar mill owned by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen.
Addressing a press conference in Karachi on Sunday, he said that the names of those ministers were included in the Exit Control List (ECL) whose names were not even listed in the JIT report.
The adviser went on to say that PTI leader Jahangir Tareen’s sugar mill was among other sugar mills that were given subsidy by the Sindh government but the JIT didn’t mention this.
Speaking on the occasion, senior provincial minister Nasir Hussain Shah while clarifying the reports of PTI leaders said that party leaders and members have full confidence on the leadership of Syed Murad Ali Shah.
There is nothing in the report, he said and added those who have made the report were also worried.
He further hoped that they would get justice. The PPP leaders also rejected the demands for the resignation of Sindh CM Syed Murad Ali Shah.
Earlier, Murtaza Wahab had denounced putting names of prominent politicians on the Exit Control List (ECL) following the ongoing investigation in money laundering cases by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT), particularly against Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari.
“Those who are talking about making a forward bloc in the Sindh Assembly should be reminded that their government has a lead of only four votes in the parliament,” he said.
He termed the results of 2018 General Elections as false and ‘stolen’, and claimed that the PTI-led government could not resolve core issues of the general public in the first five months of its tenure, rather it has triggered ‘tsunami’ in the country.
“How can you change chief minister of Sindh?” he asked, adding that inquiries were also being conducted against Prime Minister Imran Khan and KP’s chief minister, so they should have also been ousted from power.
“PPP has already faced such cases in the past,” he said, adding that the party was not afraid of these tactics.
He further lamented the federal government, and asserted that the PTI could not form government in Sindh through democratic norms.
