DADU: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that after a strong reaction by Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and others to Centre’s move to impose Article 149 on the province, supporters of Sindh’s division have started backtracking on their earlier statements.

As of now, they were apologising and denying their statements, he said while speaking to journalists after attending Soyem of PPP MPA Syed Ghulam Shah Jilani at Naining Sharif town on Sunday.

He said that changing the chief minister of Punjab was an internal issue of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf.

About the tragic death of two brothers while transporting the body of their loved one in Mirpurkhas, Mr Shah said that the tragedy occurred due to sheer negligence and whoever was found guilty would be punished.

He said that a resolution would be tabled in the Sindh Assembly in recognition of public services of the late Jilani who remained a member of the assembly from 1990 to 2018.

Sindh Minister for Information Saeed Ghani also arrived at Naining Sharif and offered condolence to the late Jilani’s son Syed Mohammad Salih Shah.

He said later while talking to journalists that Jilani’s death had caused a political vacuum, which would not be easily filled. He was not only an efficient politician but also a good human being, he said.
