We will not give withholding tax to Sindh, says Haleem.

KARACHI -- Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice President Haleem Adil Sheikh Thursday asked Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to take notice of the sufferings of the people of Sindh especially Larkana.

Addressing a press conference here, flanked by PTI leader and Sindh Baitul Mal president Hunaid Lakhani, Saifullah Abro, Jam Farooq Ahmed, Agha Arslan Ahmed and others, he said Bilawal should focus on Sindh, especially Larkana. Haleem said people of Sindh were facing water shortage and many children had died in Thar due to hunger and diseases.

Sindh irrigation department was a glaring example of corruption and mismanagement of the PPP government, he said adding, 'We will not give withholding tax to Sindh.' He asked to read articles 77, 141 and 142.

Haleem Adil said the Parliament could amend the law and under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, provinces were bound to collect the tax and give it to the federal government.

He said provinces could not refuse tax collection on behalf of the federation. He said the people were saying they would not collect tax for 22 crore Pakistanis.

Haleem Adil said those people had not given Rs6 billion as they had registered 500 vehicles but devoured the tax. He said one should indulge in politics but refrain from violating the Constitution.

He further said those people wanted a National Reconciliation Ordinance. Haleem said those people had destroyed Karachi.

He said rulers of Sindh were corrupt and inept. He asked Bilawal not to give sermons when they were not sincere with Sindh. He said in the spell of delivering sermons, they sometimes say things that may evoke Article 6, adding but he would not call them traitor. He said, 'We are the guardians of constitution and they have a selective approach towards the constitution.'

He said Bilawal had become active and he was talking about health allowance, but he was not seeing that nurses were on streets. He said legal team was thinking about what was being happening in Sindh. Haleem said these people had destroyed Karachi. They were not ready to make public JIT report on Uzair Baloch. He said Nafeesa Shah was trying to get hushed up the matters regarding PIA. He said Nafeesa Shah was a fake employee herself. She got cheques of Rs1.7million and left, adding she would be made accountable.
