‘PTI should opt negotiation path instead of sit-ins to settle issues’

F.P. Report

KARACHI: Advisor to Sindh Chief Minister on Information, Law and Anti-corruption, Barrister Murtaza Wahab has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders should opt path of negotiation with the provincial government instead of holding sit-ins. He said that our doors are always opened for negotiations with PTI leaders as the provincial government believes in resolution of each and every issue through dialogues.

Talking to media persons at Sindh Assembly on Tuesday, Barrister Murtaza Wahab said that protest on those issues by PTI was quite uncalled for given the fact that the Chief Minister Sindh had already taken a notice of these issues in order to address the same. He said that they believed that protest is fundamental right but appropriate forum for debating on issues is Sindh Assembly.  He said that terrorism was a national issue and Sindh government was utilizing all resources to fix it. Chief Minister Sindh has taken notice of the situation and issued strict directives, he said adding that protest on those matters was beyond comprehension. He said that PTI did not come out of container politics though they were in power now.   He said that they wanted to resolve the problems as PPP believed in democracy and solution of problems through dialogue.

The Advisor to CM advised the PTI members of provincial assembly to resolve issues through negotiations instead of staging sit-ins. He pointed out that few days back, one of the MNA belonging to PTI along with his workers have thrown sewage on the gate of Sindh Chief Minister’s House.

‘What kind of message are they sending? , ‘ he questioned.

He said we can’t take action against police due to court’s orders and it was PTI which applauded the same decision of court. PTI was not interested in resolving issues and bent upon to worsen situation so that roads were blocked, he alleged.

 Advisor to Sindh Chief Minister on Information, Law and Anti-corruption, Barrister Murtaza Wahab said that last night when PTI took decision of staging sit in, the provincial government got in contact with them for negotiations but they didn’t responded.”Today they (PTI) held a press conference and then marched towards Chief Minister House. Despite that our ministers reached there for negotiations,” he added.
