KARACHI: The former Sindh chief minister and President of Pakistan Muslim League (Q) Sindh chapter, Dr. Arbab Ghulam Rahim, who is living in the UAE from the last couple of months, is said to have no intention of returning to the country without a change in the current political scenario.
According to close friends of Arbab Ghulam Rahim, although, he is out of country but he is fully aware of all the political happenings in Pakistan especially in Sindh and he is in-touch with all his old political colleagues. Arbab is also said to have informed one of his old friend in Karachi on Wednesday that he will soon be back in his homeland as it seems that the present government will not survive much longer according to him. Arbab Rahim has also said that like every year he will spend the whole month of holy Ramzan in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Arbab has sent his leave application to the Sindh Assembly through his legal attorney. According to Parliamentary procedures, any elected member of any elected house can not be absent continuously from the sittings of the house or otherwise his membership of the house will lapse. Sources close to Dr Arbab Rahim said that the ex-chief minister fears that the PPP has a majority in the Sindh Assembly and that it will not allow his leave application to be entertained.
