THE PPP launched a an 'anti-loadshedding'protest movement in Sindh on Sunday calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Opposition parties have, after the Supreme Court's Panamagate verdict last week, renewed a unanimous call for the resignation of the premier u9472? at least for the duration of a probe by a Joint Investigation Team ordered by the apex court.
The PPP protested in Larkana, Mithi, Badin and Shikarpur, where party workers gathered holding banners with anti-government slogans. Protests were also held in Mirpurkhas, Umerkot, Kandhkot, Jacobabad, Nawabshah, Ghotki, Sanghar, Khairpur and other districts.
Senior PPP lawmaker Nisar Khuhro, while addressing party workers in Larkana, maintained that in light of the Panamagate verdict, the prime minister no longer had the moral authority to remain at his post.
Khuhro claimed that the premier had no moral or legal authority to remain the country's chief executive.
"His [PM Nawaz's] cronies have crossed all the limits of decency in usurping the rights of the smaller provinces, including Sindh,"Khuhro said.
He warned that if prime minister did not resign he would be"thrown out of prime minister house."
