In response to a question, the provincial information minister said that rains and floods have caused widespread destruction in Sindh and never before in the history of Pakistan has there been so much damage.

He said that due to rains and floods roads have been destroyed, houses of millions of people have collapsed, and crops have been affected. He said that the Sindh government of Pakistan People’s Party is constructing 2.2 million houses in 23 districts with the support of international financial institutions, farmers are being given financial support of Rs5000 per acre, while special attention is being given to repair road infrastructure and irrigation network in the province.

In response to another question, he said that it is the responsibility of welfare governments to extend maximum relief to people. He added that few people had given empty slogans of making Pakistan a welfare state and had done nothing in their 4 years rule and their performance had remained zero. He said that the PTI government has given nothing but made false promises to the people.

Sharjeel Inam Memon said that Allah gave him a new life. He had a massive heart attack at 4 am in the morning a few weeks ago and he was immediately rushed to NICVD Hyderabad and received standard treatment at a government hospital. He said that the treatment of heart diseases is free in Sindh for all classes of people.
