Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has said that he has never criticised the federal government in any of his press conferences, even if he disagreed with the Centre's decision. The press conferences he held were to clarify the "mixed messages" being conveyed to people.

While speaking to the media, he said that the relaxations in lockdown that were introduced in April had inflicted huge damage on the country.

Shah said that decisions should be made while taking the entire country into consideration, including Sindh.

"Sindh is not an island. It is a part of Pakistan," the chief minister said.
