KARACHI: Opposition Leader in the Sindh Assembly, Firdous Shamim Naqvi, has called for imposing the Governor’s rule in the province, while expressing frustration over failure of the Sindh government to deliver amid the pandemic.
Addressing a press conference, along with GDA and other PTI leaders, Opposition Leader in the Sindh Assembly Naqvi said that it was better to impose Governor’s rule in the province as the Sindh government had failed to deliver.
He said that the Article 235 of the Constitution had empowered the president to impose financial emergency in the country and he must do so protect the province from sliding on the slippery slope.
He was rebutted by the Sindh government’s Murtaza Wahab who said that was not possible under the Constitution.
Reacting to the opposition’s demand, Sindh Law and Environment Adviser Barrister Murtaza Wahab said that the opposition in the Sindh Assembly has once again raised the demand without having an inkling of the Constitution.
“Leader of Opposition in Sindh Assembly to better read the Constitution. Naqvi does not even know which constitutional clause covers the imposition of the Governor’s rule in its present form. The clause governing the subject lies in Article 234 of the Constitution and not Article 235”, he said.
