Pir Pagaro possesses trump card: Ch Shujaat

KARACHI: The rulers should not play the Sindh card as the floods and the merger of the two factions of Pakistan Muslim League (PML) had rendered it invalid, and Pir Pagaro possesses the trump card now, Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain said at the Karachi Press Club on Sunday.
The modalities of the merger would be sorted out soon. And we shall not leave Pagaro under any circumstances, he said.
Change through democratic process under constitutional limits would be supported, he added.
Pervez Musharraf made three major mistakes - the Lal Mosque operation, the sacking of chief justice of Pakistan and the Balochistan operation that lead to the killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti, he said.
Earlier, PML-Quaid Secretary General Mushahid Hussain Syed said the natural catastrophe had converted into a major human disaster and the government had failed to address this situation.
After a span of six weeks, no concrete plan or development was made for the relief and rehabilitation of the people in the flood-affected areas, he said.
We have proposed a three-point agenda for dealing with the catastrophe. Firstly, we have asked the government and other parties to declare a political ceasefire until the flood affectees get settled. Secondly, a complete plan should be devised for rescue and relief operation across the country. Thirdly, the government should discuss about the waiver of foreign debts, he added.
