Centre has a liking for Punjab, KP CMs because they ‘remain silent’: Murtaza Wahab

Murtaza Wahab

Murtaza Wahab, a spokesperson for the Sindh government, claimed on Sunday that the federal government preferred the chief ministers of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa because they “stay silent.”

“They like ‘mute’ people like Usman Buzdar. They like KP CM because he remains silent,” Wahab said, at a press conference in Karachi.

The Sindh government spokesperson said that Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah is not liked by the federal government as he “does not remain quiet”.

He added that if Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah raises his voice, it is “a good thing”.

Wahab also slammed the federal government for the allocations made in the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP).

The law minister said that schemes for KP, Balochistan and Punjab are visible in the PSDP allocation but Sindh, “which fuels the country’s economy, does not even have the allocation for a single project in the programme”.

[amazonad category=”Mobile”]

“Sindh is not given its rights [but] Sindh cannot be ignored,” said Wahab.

Wahab also slammed Federal Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry for his statement on the audit of Sindh. Chaudhry had said that the Centre would carry out the audit of the funds given to Sindh by the federal government.

“You are not doing us any favours by giving us money. It is not your father’s money, this is our constitutional right,” Wahab said. He added that the federal ministers had “no idea” what it is they have to do and were only able to give statements.

“Local governments completed their terms only in Sindh,” Wahab said.

Fawad Chaudhry: England cricket series will not be shown in Pakistan

Nawaz Sharif, Ashraf Ghani flee away with bags of dollars: Information Minister

On Tuesday, The federal cabinet rejected the offer of  Pakistan Television Corporation to coordinate with an Indian company to live broadcast the upcoming Pakistan-England cricket series.

Fawad Chaudhry, ‘Federal Minister for Information’ addressed a press conference after the cabinet meeting and said that the cabinet was requested to approve the partnership with Indian broadcasters (Star and Asia) who have the rights to air the match, which would enable Pakistan Television (PTV) to broadcast the cricket series between Pakistan and England which was scheduled to start from July 8.

The proposal has been rejected. Pakistan cannot undertake a partnership with any Indian company and our ties with the neighbouring country are subject to India reverting its Aug 5, 2019 decision [to restore Kashmir’s previous status].

He said, “Indian companies hold the rights to broadcast [matches] in South Asia …. And we cannot conduct business with any Indian company”.

He added, “Normalization of ties with India is subject to it taking back the August 5 decision”.

He told that Pakistan would try to explore different options, including approaching the ‘England Cricket Board’ and other foreign companies to secure broadcasting rights, but “regrettably” the rights have been reserved by Indian companies in South Asia. The minister highlighted that due to this decision the PTV and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) would bear financial losses.
