Karachi: Sindh Education Minister Nisar Khoro said on Friday that the provincial government has suspended the officers who were involved in hiring fake teachers.
While talking to the media after a Sindh Assembly (SA) session, the minister said “we just took the first step in [the] investigation process,”
Khoro said that the people of Sindh needed jobs and he did whatever he could do to legally.
“Our friends from MQM (Muttahida Quami Movement) should not have reacted in such a way,” he added.
Earlier on Friday, the Sindh Assembly session descended into chaos as opposition parties led by MQM protested over what they called “fake” appointments by the Pakistan People’s Party provincial government.
The house echoed with slogans of “shame, shame” as Acting Speaker Shehla Raza appealed to opposition members to keep the house in order.
In the Question Hour, MQM’s Faisal Sabzwari addressed the house and raised questions as to why the government had not removed those responsible for fake hiring in the Sindh Education Department.
The Sindh Education Minister Nisar Khuhro said that former president and army chief Pervez Musharraf also called the people of Sindh ineligible.
Thus started a wave of strong words between the assembly members of the two parties. Sindh Assembly members of the MQM started chanting slogans when the Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon tried to address the session.
Memon came up to defend the government, but his statement led to an exchange of words with the MQM MPAs.
Deputy Speaker of the Sindh Assembly Syed Shehla Raza instructed the assembly members to stay quiet and be seated,
The pandemonium later forced the acting speaker to take a ten-minute break.
