KARACHI: Leader of the Opposition in Sindh Assembly, Haleem Adil Sheikh, on Monday termed Sindh government as the biggest obstacle in provision of facilities to people of the province.

He said that party with aristocratic mindset would never wanted development and welfare of the people and it was evident from the fact that PPP was apposing every step aimed at development of Sindh. Haleem said that following Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, people of Gilgit Baltistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Balochistan were going to get facility of the Health Card but Sindh government was unwilling to provide the card to people of Sindh.

Sindh government had also refused to contribute in federal government’s ration subsidy program that would negatively affect the masses particularly the low-income groups and destitute population in the province, he added. Haleem Adil Sheikh said that the rulers who play Sindh card only knew how to loot Sindh and accumulate properties while the chief minister of the province was disposed towards spreading hatred and ethnic dissensions.

The CM who called people of Sindh a minority was actually conspiring against the federation, he said and vowed that federal government would continue playing proactive role for welfare of people of Sindh. The opposition leader in a separate statement announced support to legitimate demands of nurses who were holding protest in Karachi and said “Tehreek-e-Insaf stands with the daughters of Sindh.”

Haleem said that rulers of Sindh were busy in plundering national kitty while people from all walks of life were taking to streets for their rights. He said that ministry of health in Sindh has been made a family heritage while right of people to health facilities was negated.
