Sindh Assembly passes bill postponing LB polls

KARACHI: A bill for the postponement of local bodies’ elections for an indefinite period was approved in the Sindh Assembly on Tuesday.

The adjournment bill, presented in the assembly by Sindh’s Law Minister Ayaz Soomro, was unanimously approved.

Somroo said “new dates for local bodies’ elections will be announced after the rehabilitation of the flood victims”.

The assembly’s session was being chaired by Speaker Nisar Khurho.

MQM MPAs were not present in the session due to an MQM rally being taken out against Aafia Siddiqui’s sentence.

Provincial minister Pir Mazharul Haq said MQM MPAs had been taken into confidence regarding the adjournment bill.
