Adviser to the Sindh Chief Minister for Information, Law and Anticorruption, Barrister Murtaza Wahab, has said that PTI government which came to power with 'stolen mandate' had completed 100 days and near to a century of U-turns. "The latest among the U-turns is the dam's contract that has been awarded to the company of the incumbent cabinet member," he said, questioning whether the award contract of Mohmand Dam on the basis of favouritism was not nepotism.

In a statement issued on Thursday, Barrister Murtaza Wahab asked, which principle was followed in awarding that dam's contract. He said that even newsmen were no longer safe from filthy language uttered by PTI ministers. He said such attitude could not be described politics by any standard but the 'rage' had become PTI's identity, as they begin loosing temperament, instead of answering queries.

The adviser said that the PTI government machinery was also accountable for the tall claims in that past that they would end nepotism but after coming to power, they are awarding contracts to the blue eyed persons. "Faisal Wavda should have answered to senior journalist with patience and arguments instead of getting angry," he suggested. Murtaza Wahab reminded that accepting difference of opinion was core principle of democracy.
