      <title>Saira Bano slams PPP for Sindh’s decline, says province handed over without merit</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330404524/saira-bano-slams-ppp-for-sindhs-decline-says-province-handed-over-without-merit</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) leader Saira Bano has strongly criticised the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), questioning what progress they have made to justify their continued rule in Sindh.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She accused the party of plundering the province’s rights, alleging that illegal canals were drawn from the Indus River for Cholistan while the people of Sindh suffered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking on &lt;em&gt;Aaj TV’s&lt;/em&gt; programme “News Insight with Aamir Zia”, Bano claimed that 460 government schools in Sindh remain shut, fake recruitments are rampant, and elections are manipulated in favour of the ruling party.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Our real opponent in elections is the state itself, as the entire government machinery supports PPP,” she alleged.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330404522/sc-sets-hearing-for-imrans-petitions-on-may-9-events-alleged-electoral-fraud"&gt;SC sets hearing for Imran’s petitions on May 9 events, alleged electoral fraud&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330404483/opposition-grand-alliance-to-hold-major-conference-in-islamabad"&gt;Opposition grand alliance to hold major conference in Islamabad&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She further criticised Sindh’s chief minister, stating that he has failed to address public grievances.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What has the Sindh government done for the common man? The deteriorating condition of Karachi’s roads is in front of everyone. No one in Sindh is safe,” she added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Khurram Sher Zaman claimed that PTI has always focused on Karachi and previously won 21 National Assembly seats from the city.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He admitted that PTI’s past reluctance to engage with rural Sindh was a mistake but insisted that the party still enjoys significant support in the province.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Imran Khan has always maintained ties with Pir Pagara and the GDA. Sindh’s political reality includes GDA, while MQM’s vote bank in Karachi has completely vanished,” he asserted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sher Zaman ruled out negotiations with coalition parties, blaming them for the country’s economic crises.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“PTI remains the largest political force in Karachi despite media restrictions on covering us. Our tough time is over, and now we are determined to form a government in Sindh and end PPP’s rule in the province,” he concluded.&lt;/p&gt;
