Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) .
Addressing a meet the press program here at Hyderabad press club,
he said the price hike had affected all segments of the society.
Pakistan Muslim League government had undertaken major development
projects including Karachi-Hyderabad Motorway, Multan- Sukkur
Motorway, Thar Coal projects under China Pakistan Economic Corridor
(CPEC),Green Line and Metro projects in Sindh and Punjab during its
last tenure, Ahsan claimed, adding previous Sindh
government of Pakistan People’s party did not sanctioned land for
construction of University in Hyderabad despite being the fact that
PML-N government had released 90% funding which could not be utilized
due to lack of interest of the Sindh government.
Ahsan Iqbal observed price hike and the currency devaluation had affected the middle as well as lower middle class as prices of essential commodities had increased.
He appealed to the people of Sindh to express confidence over PML-N in upcoming general election.
“If people of Sindh vote PML-N into power during next general elections, their decades old problems and issues will be resolved,” he maintained.
Ahsan Iqbal said PML-N were organizing workers conventions in Sindh to
put focus on the backward province as the provincial government had
failed to resolve genuine issues of people despite remaining in power
since last 13 years.

played an important role in the movements for restoration of democracy
in the country and PML-N believed in freedom of media in letter and
spirit.
