KARACHI: The Pakistan Peoples Party`s Sindh chapter will begin the second phase of its campaign against the Nawaz Sharif-led federal government with a sit-in in front of the Quaid`s mausoleum on Wednesday (today), party leaders said on Tuesday.

`We`ll start the second phase of our `go-Nawazgo campaign` from Wednesday [today] by staging a sit-in in front of the Quaid`s mausoleum,` said Nisar Khuhro, PPP Sindh president and a senior minister in the Sindh government, at a press conference at Bilawal House.

PPP Sindh general secretary Waqar Mehdi, senators Aajiz Dhamrah and Saeed Ghani, andparty leader Rashid Rabbani were also present.

Mr Khuhro said the sit-in would start at 3pm in which `thousands of party workers` would participate.He alleged that prolonged power outages across Sindh and non-availability of gas and irrigation water to its people and industrial zones were engineered by Mr Sharif`s government to `take revenge` for not voting for his party in past elections.

`The people of Sindh don`t want to see Mr Sharif as prime minister any longer because his government is victimising them,` he said.

He said other divisional headquarters would also hold similar sit-ins. Local leaders in Hyderabad would stage a sit-in on April 30 at Hyder Chowk and another would be held at the Jinnah Bagh in Larkana on May 6. A sit-in wouldbe staged in Mirpurkhas on May 11, another in Benazirabad on May 16 while the final sit-in would be staged in Sukkur on May 21.

Mr Khuhro said the party would also organise a public meeting on May 1 at Nishtar Park to mark Labour Day.

`We are not going to sit idle when the federal government continues to victimise our people.

We`ll show them that people do not want him and his government any longer.

He said many districts of Sindh were suffering 20-hours-a-day power outages daily, which clearly showed that Islamabad was not treating the people of the second largest province on merit.

`Imran Khan kept seeking the finger of the umpire and failed, but we`ll certainly send him [Mr Sharif] packing,` said the PPP leader.
