The Sindh Ministry of Education and Literacy (Education and Literacy Department) has denied Fatima Bhutto’s allegations about dilapidated schools in Sajawal and said that a new building has been constructed for the said school.
Former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s granddaughter once again highlighted the issue by sharing pictures of the school.
Fatima Bhutto, who went to Larkana with her husband after her marriage, wrote on social media that she had told about the ghost school in Sajawal in February, which is lying empty due to the rampant corruption of the Sindh government and is still empty. Although an officer came to visit after the matter was raised by him and Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Jr.
In Feb, I posted about the Sajawal govt ghost school that was empty and growing weeds out of its windows thanks to the rampant corruption of the Sindh government -if it can even be called that, since they don’t do even the barest minimum pic.twitter.com/kal1et5124

Fatima further said in her post that the first 2 photos shared are of the Sjawal Taluk Hospital, which was left as it was after its construction was started 10 years ago, women giving birth have to go to Larkana for basic medical care And sometimes they die within a short journey.
An update: it’s still empty and still a ghost school two months later even though an official came to visit after @BhuttoZulfikar and I wrote about it. Nothing has been done. What teachers are registered as working here? They’re taking govt salaries. We should know their names. pic.twitter.com/RJlzdQ7UyD
