Will PTI demolish Sindh Governor House? Imran Ismail unveils plan

KARACHI - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidate for Sindh Governor Imran Ismail on Sunday responded to the speculations about the future of the Sindh Governor House located in Karachi.

Talking to media, he said that the Governor House will not be bulldozed as it is a historical building. Ismail further clarified that PTI chief Imran Khan never claimed to demolish this building.

He said that the building will be opened for the public but it is yet to be determined whether a educational institute or art gallery will be established here.

It is interesting to note that Imran in one of his rallies had vowed to bulldoze Governor House whenever he assumes power in Centre, a private news channel said.

Asserting the PTI chief's austerity drive, the incoming governor said that expenses of the Governor House will be reduced to minimum level, adding that he will only use the office of the Governor in the building.

He further said that opposition leader in the Sindh Assembly will be from the PTI.

PTI had announced to appoint Imran Ismail as Sindh governor on Saturday. A statement issued by the party said that Imran Khan has given formal approval for his name as Sindh Governor.
