The administrative and governmental powers of Sindh will not be shared with anyone, said Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah while addressing a press conference on Monday.

Some people make statements about trampling the constitution but that is not possible, said Shah. Such discussions hurt the sentiments of the people of the province, he added, referring to the political conversation surrounding governance of Karachi in recent days. This is all to divert attention from other issues, he opined.

"We have made efforts to improve the infrastructure in Karachi," he claimed. This is not to say that the situation is very good, but crises have emerged in other cities too, he said. However, by focusing [solely] on Karachi, attention is diverted from other developmental failures in the country, he added.

According to sources, Attorney General for Pakistan (AGP) Khalid Javed Khan also met with Shah on Sunday to allay the Pakistan Peoples Party-led Sindh government's concerns.

The AGP assured Shah that the Centre is not going to intervene in Sindh’s affairs by imposing the governor’s rule or by invoking Article 149 of the constitution in a bid to put Karachi under the federal government’s control.

However, the state’s top law officer communicated to Sindh CM that the federal government desires that a powerful local government system is introduced in Karachi as the incumbent LG system in the country’s commercial hub does not give meaningful power to the mayor.

Prime Minister Imran Khan has also asked AGP Khan to push for empowering the LGs in the apex court. It is expected that the Supreme Court will take up the matter in the next couple of weeks.

By people of province he mean an army of corrupt officers and political gangsters who are leeching the resources of this city day and night.
I think, center should take Karachi. People of Karachi will be happy, and interior Sindhs people will never vote for PTI, whatsoever.

PPP has done so much for Karachi, would they be willing to take a petition signing challenge from Karachiites on whether we want to continue with this superb service of PPP or have just about anyone else take control of the city administratively and financially.

What arguments would the Sindh government have if the City overwhelmingly votes to get rid of PPP from Karachi, and if required to even move away from Sindh administratively?
