KARACHI:
Minister Murad Ali Shah on Saturday expressed his reservations over the next budget, maintaining that ever since the PTI-led government had come to power, it had been “biased” towards the province.
In a letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan, the provincial chief executive complained that Sindh s projects were ignored in the Centre s Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP).
He added that the federal government wanted to interfere in the affairs of the province through the Sindh Infrastructure Development Company Limited, “similar to how the British ruled India through the East India Company”.
