The Sindh Assembly has passed a resolution for the release of Professor Ajmal, Ali Haider Gilani and Shahbaz Taseer.

The resolution was presented by Sharmila Farooqi. Addressing the house, Sharmila said that the government was releasing Taliban prisoners but was quiet over the locals detained by TTP. She said the Taliban were showing no flexibility on this matter.

Sharmila Farooqi questioned Chaudhry Nisar if he was the interior minister of Taliban or the government.

The Sindh Assembly session started after a delay of 1:20 minutes with speaker Agha Siraj Durani in chair.

Opposition leader Faisal Sabzwari protested against the extrajudicial killings of MQM workers while demanded to investigate the matter. Meanwhile, information minister Sharjeel Memon said the government will not allow discrimination against any party including MQM, adding that no law enforcement agency has been allowed for extrajudicial killings. MQM lawmaker Kamran Akhtar said the country was facing huge losses due to the smuggling of Iranian oil. Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Sikander said that the coastguard and custom officials were responsible to curb smuggling.
