Mr Mahar was accompanied by provincial ministers Irfanullah Khan Marwat and Dr Irfan Gul Magsi. Pir Pagara said that every step taken by CM would have his full support.

According to official sources, political and law and order situation in Sindh and various other issues relating to the province came under a detailed review on the occasion.

The CM said that he had called on Pir Saheb Pagara to seek his blessings and thank him for his support to the government. Mr Mahar pointed out that his government was taking strict measures to maintain law and order throughout the province, particularly in Karachi.
