Karachi: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has worked out a strategy for the approval of Sindh People Local Ordinance (SPLO) in Sindh Assembly on Monday (today). There were chances that former PPP allies would create hindrance in the approval.
Instead of PPP and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), all major stake holders of the province including Sindhi nationalist parties, Pakistan Muslim League-Functional, Awami National Party (ANP) and Jamat-e-Islami had rejected the bill. The parties had termed the bill an attempt to divide Sindh province and demanded the government to withdraw it.
According to sources, in a meeting of PPP Sindh parliamentary committee at CM house, the PPP leadership directed all the members to ensure their presence during the session of Sindh Assembly on Monday.
The sources revealed that several PPP workers had expressed their concern over the tabling of the bill and there were chances that they might escape the session. The annoyed members said that their voter were under the influence of Sindhi nationalist parties over the issue of SPLO and their presence during the approval of the bill would put their constituency at stake.
In the meanwhile, Speaker Sindh Assembly Nisar Khoro had suspended all entry passes for Sindh Assembly, ensuring the ban of outsiders during the approval of the SPLO.
