Resolution

| 5 | This Assembly vehemently condemn the venomous attitude and discriminatory act by Federal Water and Power Authorities with the people of Sindh Province. It has been experienced that, 18 to 20 hours Load-Shedding of Power supply to the subscribers and on the top of it authorities issue wrong statements, make false claims and promises that there shall be no Load-Shedding on Sehar and Iftar timings, but all in vain. People of the Province are forced to meet their domestic, business and agriculture power needs by use of gas generators, where-as Sui Southern Gas Company cuts off the gas pressure by announcing ban on such use. Sindh has tremendous potential of Power Production and is busy in exploiting all fossil and renewable sources helping to solve the National problem of Power Scarcity but surprisingly the regulatory authorities are not allowing linkage to national grid. Such attitude prove that the Province is facing discrimination which is nothing but detrimental to national interest and integrity | Joint | Adopted |
| 8 | This House resolves to acknowledge the great contributions of Amjad Fareed Sabri Shaheed as a Qawal, Artist and Humanitarian. He has brought many laurels and honors to Pakistan and Sindh. This House pays tribute to his contribution of enriching the culture of this country. This House expresses its heartfelt condolences and sympathies to Amjad Sabri’s family over his sad demise. We stand with Amjad Sabri’s family in their time of grief and sorrow. May Allah give them strength and patience. This House expresses it strong condemnation of the murder of Amjad Sabri. His death is a great loss not just to Pakistan, but also to the Muslim World. This House resolves the Government of Sindh and the various law enforcement agencies to take immediate action to apprehend all the culprits involved in this heinous murder in order that justice be done | Joint | Adopted |
