The provincial government of Sindh has announced a major administrative reform aimed at enhancing transparency and curbing corruption in public spending. Senior Minister Sharjeel Memon declared that all public procurement, tenders, and official contracts across the province will now be processed electronically through a centralized e-tendering system. This marks a critical step toward modernizing governance and ensuring greater accountability in financial dealings.
Addressing a recent incident of violence in Karachi, Sharjeel Memon condemned the lawlessness witnessed during the Culture Day celebrations, specifically citing the damage done to the People’s Bus Service. While affirming the importance of cultural events, he warned that nobody would be allowed to take the law into their own hands or cause distress to others.
The Minister then shifted focus to politics, launching a severe criticism against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). He raised serious allegations, stating that the sisters of the PTI founder were granting interviews to Indian media outlets and recalled previous reports of foreign funding received by the party from India.
Defending the legacy of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Memon asserted that the PPP is committed to preserving democratic traditions but emphasized that no political entity should cross the established “red lines.” He contrasted the PTI’s alleged behavior with the PPP’s history of democratic struggle, noting that the entire PPP leadership has made ultimate sacrifices, including the judicial murder of Shaheed Bhutto, and has never attacked state institutions.
