KARACHI: The Sindh Assembly on Monday witnessed a stormy session as ruling Pakistan People Party vehemently condemned the federal government for cutting down Sindh’s water share in violation of the 1991 Water Accord through a strong-worded resolution that was opposed by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, saying the PPP created an artificial shortage by favouring its “blue-eyed waderas”.
Major opposition parties in the provincial assembly Grand Democratic Alliance and Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan which are coalition partners of the PTI-led federal government, however, supported the resolution tabled by Irrigation Minister Sohail Anwar Sial.

KARACHI: The Sindh Assembly again on Friday witnessed uproar and chaos when lawmakers belonging to the Pakistan Peoples Party and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf traded insults and hurled abuses on each other.
The situation took an ugly turn at the outset of the proceedings following the remarks of PTI’s Khurram Sher Zaman, who said “it seems that there is dogs’ rule in the province” while praying for dog-bite victims.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Mukesh Kumar Chawla, Information, Science and Technology Minister Taimur Talpur and other PPP lawmakers lost their cool and aggressively moved toward the PTI benches, shouting at MPA Sher Zaman and advising him to control his tongue and not to act like a “goon”.
