Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah on Saturday said it would be better if Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had concentrated more on his job rather than lambasting Chairman Pakistan Peoples' Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. He also decried the federal government's decision of replacing governor of Sindh without taking the provincial government into confidence.
"I acknowledge that appointment of a governor is a prerogative of prime minister, but it was better if the federal government had pre-informed the provincial government before replacing the governor," he said while talking to media during a visit to Saint Patrick's School in Karachi. The CM also spoke about the 'alarming situation' of Karachi and said the government was working for the betterment of the metropolis.
As the rift widens with Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali, the Pakistan Peoples' Party has called on the federal minister to focus on Panama Papers rather than the age of Bilawal Bhutto. Sindh Information Advisor, Maulabux Chandio, while addressing journalists on Saturday, said that, "Chaudhry Nisar should focus on the issues which matters such as the Panama Papers."
He questioned why Nisar has silent on the matter and had called it the personal matter of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. He said they could not hide and the Panama Papers would continue to haunt the Prime Minister. He said they deep respect for the judiciary, but the premier would have to face accountability now. Chandio accused that some federal ministers were not the well-wishers of the Prime Minister, and were working against the interests of the government and weakening the federation. He accused that the Interior Minister only answers those questions in press briefings which he seems suitable.
He said Nisar should not be ashamed if anyone including Bilawal Bhutto calls him as Chacha (uncle). "Why is Chaudhry Nisar furious when someone calls him an uncle?" he questioned.
