PPP minister says Sindh will never be separated

Sindh Local Government Minister Nasir Hussain Shah has denied the rumours of separation of Sindh. “Such rumours are not taken seriously and the province will never be divided,” he said.

Speaking on the occasion of the inauguration of Munawar Chowrangi Underpass in Karachi, Shah said that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) had done more development work in Karachi than any other government. Shah was addressing the media along with Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab.

PPP, he claimed, had erected various underpasses and bridges throughout Karachi and many marriage halls built on public playgrounds were demolished by the city administration led by Mayor Wahab for restoration of the public areas.

Shah rejected the suggestion that Karachi had become one of the worst cities in the world, saying the population of the city was still rising because of the economic importance and charm of the city.“If Karachi was in such a bad shape, people would not keep on coming here,” he remarked, describing the metropolis as a “Mini Pakistan” where people from all across the country are welcome to come and live and work.

The provincial minister said the mayor and town chairmen were working round the clock to improve civic infrastructure and municipal services. He said quick administrative action was being taken to address the complaints received from locals.

Replying to a question about reports of separation of Sindh, Shah said that the province would never be divided.Some people constantly raising these kind of issues but we do not take it seriously. “Sindh can never be divided and we are busy in our work,” he stated.
