Opposition senators protested in the Senate on Wednesday against the federal government’s act of disconnecting power supply to various feeders in Hyderabad because of non-payment of bills, causing an acute shortage of water in the city.
But Minister of State for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali refused to restore the supply unless the Sindh government paid dues of Rs56 billion.
This led to a token walkout from the house by all opposition members, including those from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement.
