Karachi (HRNW) – During the Sindh Assembly budget session, Opposition Leader Ali Khurshidi delivered a critical speech, questioning the government’s performance in the education and transport sectors.
Addressing the assembly, Ali Khurshidi said, “These schools belong to all of us—not just to you or me,” emphasizing the collective responsibility toward public institutions.
Referring to statements made by Provincial Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, Khurshidi noted that approximately 125,000 people are currently using the Sindh Bus Service. He argued that in a province with a population of around 60 million, only a very small fraction is benefiting from public transport facilities.
He stated that the figure represents just 0.25% of the population, adding that even if the bus service is doubled, the coverage would only increase to around 0.5%, which he described as insufficient.
Questioning the government’s performance, the Opposition Leader asked how such statistics could be presented as a success.
He also made remarks directed at assembly members, stating, “You may beat your desks loudly, but you must also fulfill the rights of your constituencies and the people who elected you.”
The session reflected continued debate between the opposition and treasury benches over public service delivery, particularly in education and urban transport development.
