He said that Sindh govt was afraid of the lady member as opposition leader in the Sindh Assembly, so the Speaker was avoiding issuing notification of the opposition leader.He said that if the Speaker would not issue the notification to declare Nusrat Abbasi as opposition leader, the PML-F would approach the court soon.Shaikh said that his party was in favour of local government system but they would not accept dual administrative system in the province.Condemning the negligence over the deaths of 300 children due to measles, the PML-F leader said that Sindh Health Department had failed in fulfilling its responsibility while the Sindh chief minister was also helpless in this regard.
