KARACHI – The Chief Minister of Sindh, Murad Ali Shah took a strong position on Tuesday against those demanding new provinces.
While addressing Sindh Assembly session, the CM Sindh expressed that he “curses” everyone who calls for a separate Karachi province.
The CM said he condemned the Leader of the Opposition’s speech regarding a separate province. “I condemn and I curse all those who want a separate province,” he said.
You should be able to own the motherland you live on, he added.
Earlier, MQM lawmakers had suggested that if the PPP did not change its attitude towards Karachi until the next assembly session, they would demand a separate administrative unit of the city.
The PPP has vowed to carve a province out of Punjab but is adamant to never let that happen in its stronghold, Sindh, added the lawmakers.
The MQM, on the other hand, often renews calls for a separate province during its election campaigns.
