Excellent decision to entrust power to those people, whose loyalty was once suspected. The decision of Nawaz Sharif will have a long impact in bringing back disgruntled elements in the mainstream politics. I would suggest that, one the same lines, the Government should consider appointing Mr. Mumtaz Ali Bhutto was the new Governor of Sindh, while noting that he is also a nationalist leader, and chose to stay away from mainstream politics for a long period of time. It was Nawaz Sharif, who brought him back in the fold, and he should be entrusted with bigger responsibility.

Congrates. Indeed a reasonable choice. Thanks a lot for getting rid of a disgruntled, unwilling and non committal ex governor Magsi.
