DADU (92 News) - Responding the demolition of farmhouse reportedly owned by PTI leader Haleem Adil Shaikh, Sindh Chief Minister (CM) Murad Ali Shah said the action was taken on the Supreme Court’s order.

Talking to the journalists in Bhan Saeedabad, the chief minister mentioned that the farmhouses and commercial activities can’t be allowed on the state land leased for agriculture and poultry farming purposes. "Besides the 30-year lease had already expired," he added.

“If someone wants to give the anti-encroachment drive political colour, it is their wish. Unfortunately, he said, PTI leaders not only spoke ill of him but his late father. Removing encroachments is not political revenge,” he maintained, adding the provincial administration had to raze even age-old villages on the court directives.
