KARACHI : Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Sindh leaders accused the Pakistan Peoples Party on Saturday of preparing itself for horse-trading in the upcoming Senate elections.
Addressing a press conference at the Sindh Assembly, opposition leader Haleem Adil Shaikh said that under the National Finance Commission (NFC) award, the share of Sindh was 22 per cent, but due to abject poverty in the province, 31 per cent of families were helped under the Ehsas Cash Emergency Programme.
He said Rs60 billion had been given to 50,000 families.
Sheikh alleged that the media cell of the Pakistan Peoples Party was misleading the masses through its propaganda against the federal government, and that the PPP had hired highly paid advisors of Pakistan to spread disinformation.
