The federal government has maliciously tried to interfere in provincial affairs, claimed Sindh government spokesperson Murtaza Wahab on Monday.
Addressing a press conference at the Sindh Assembly building on the day, Wahab claimed that the Pakistan Tehreek-eInsaf-led federal government does not believe in the law and has been violating the Constitution of Pakistan for the past two and a half years.
He dubbed the central government as incompetent and anti-poor . During Prime Minister Imran Khan s tenure, houses of the poor have been demolished but the PM s house was regularised, claimed Wahab. This facility is not available to the poor.
