Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah has said that the people of Pakistan have given mandate to the present assemblies for a period of five years. "Everyone has to respect the mandate, and the rumours about proposal to dissolve the assemblies are unfounded and baseless," he added. He said this while talking to media just after performing grounding breaking ceremony of National Highway (N-5) Road from Jinnah Terminal to Quaidabad Flyover on Tuesday.
He was accompanied by Minister for Local Government Jam Khan Shoro, Special Assistant to CM Waqar Mehdi and others. To a question, the chief minister said that Panama Leaks must be probed independently but "it doesn't mean to disrupt the democratic system under this pretext, " he said and recalled "the people of Pakistan have paid heavy price for restoring democracy, therefore we won't allow {anybody} to derail it {system}." To another question that there is a proposal to dissolve the assemblies for fresh mandate, the chief minister said that it was totally baseless and wishful thinking. "The rumour-mongering keep attempting to roll back democracy but they would never succeed in their nefarious designs," he said categorically. Earlier, the chief minister accompanied by Local Government Minister Jam Khan Shoro performed the ground breaking ceremony of rehabilitation/ reconstruction of about three kilometer National Highway (N-5) from Jinnah Terminal Flyover to Quaidabad. This is a Rs 785.217 million project and likely to be completed within one year. The contract of the project has been awarded to FWO. The National Highway (N-5) is one of the two major highways of Karachi leading to Thatta /Hyderabad connected with Shahrah-e-Faisal near Jinnah Terminal. The chief minister said that there was an impression that the government was constructing new roads but ignored the old ones. "This is not true we are rehabilitating the old roads and N-5 project is one of them," he said.
