28th Amendment
\n Karachi
\nSindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Saturday warned that Pakistan Peoples Party would not accept any move against the interest of his province or Pakistan.
\nCM Murad\u2019s remarks came days after the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) \u2014 an ally of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz in the Centre \u2014 indicated it would use all legal and democratic means to seek new provinces through the looming 28th Amendment.
\nDuring his interaction with journalists in Sehwan Sharif, CM Murad said: \u201cStop worrying about rumours of the creation of new provinces and the division of Sindh.\u201d
\nThe provincial chief minister said the 28th Amendment would be dealt with once it comes before the assembly, adding that he could not comment on a proposal he knows nothing about.
\nCM Murad further said that appointing a governor is the prerogative of the prime minister and the president, adding that no one else had any role in it.
\nCM Murad, a day earlier, had dismissed discussions on creation of new provinces outright, stating: \u201cThe talk of new provinces- listen from one ear and let it pass out from the other except for Allah, no one has the power to divide Sindh.\u201d
\n\u201cOur focus is to ensure that Sindh\u2019s cultural work and crafts receive the recognition and encouragement they deserve,\u201d the CM had said.
\nPPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had already rejected the proposals to alter the 18th Amendment and reduce the NFC Award share, he had added.
\n\u201cThese matters were also rejected under the proposed 27th Amendment,\u201d the CM had said.
\nHe had asserted that the PPP knew how to \u201cturn dreams into reality,\u201d highlighting the party\u2019s developmental vision and governance approach.
\nResponding to a question about reports of change about Sindh\u2019s governor, CM Murad had clarified that neither he nor the provincial government had any role in the decision.
\n\u201cWe are not consulted when governors are appointed,\u201d he had said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
