Sindh Governor Imran Ismail on Monday said that with the prayers of Sufi saints, Sindh would remain blessed and he considered himself as servant of such saints. He said this while talking to the media after inaugurating a three-day 276th annual Urs of Hazrat Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai by laying a wreath at the Shrine of the Sufi Saint.

Ismail added that the construction work of various shrines of the saints in the province was underway. The Governor Sindh said that Shah Sahib's message was a message of peace and we are following his message. Replying to a query about the MQM, Imran Ismail said that relations with the MQM were good and recently he had met federal minister Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui and shared with him the message of Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Regarding the march of Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman, he said that there was a difference between the Maulana and PTI sit-ins, the Maulana himself was unaware of his sit-in, while there was an effective logic of PTI sit-in. He said that provincial governments should prevent minor children from attending the Maulana's sit-in because children were non-political and PTI had no fear of Maulana Fazlur Rehman's protest.

To another question, he replied that it was the responsibility of the provincial governments to maintain law and order in provinces. MNAs Jai Prakash, Nusrat Wahid, MPAs Firdous Shamim Naqvi, Halim Adil
