Sindh is our mother, will stand against who talk about divisions of province: CM

KARACHI (92 News) - Sindh Chief Minister (CM) Murad Ali Shah on Monday said that Sindh is our mother and will oppose everyone who talk about division of the province. While addressing a press conference, the chief minister categorically stated that executive power of provincial government and the assembly cannot be shared with anyone and no one will be allowed to interfere in their domain. Murad Ali Shah dispelled rumours that an agreement or deal had been reached between Karachi's political parties, saying that Karachi's stakeholders had only talked about forming a committee on the city's development issues. “There was talk of forming of a committee but there has been no agreement yet,” he clarified about the meeting held on Monday between MQM-P, PTI and the PPP. “The point of sending the NDMA in Karachi was to show that there were more rains,” said CM Murad. He shared that he had a detailed conversation with the NDMA chairman about the nullahs of the city. “We are ready to work with Centre for the betterment of Karachi, but will not share executive powers of the province with anyone,” he asserted. “Different options are under study with the federation to resolve Karachi issues, but no sort of alliance has been made between Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P),” added Murad Ali Shah. Commenting over appointing a new administrator for Karachi, the Sindh chief minister said it right of the provincial government to appoint an administrator. "Several names for the appointment of a new Karachi administrator are under consideration.”
