Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said on Wednesday funds from China for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor will also be allocated to different projects in Sindh.

“We are thankful to China for trusting Pakistan,” Shahbaz said, while addressing the media during his visit to Karachi.

Punjab CM said terrorism and power shortage in the metropolis were discussed during his meetings with Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah and Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad.

Further, Shahbaz congratulated the Sindh government on arrested the culprits behind the deadly Safoora attack and praised the efforts of the military and civil leadership in the city.

Appreciating Sindh’s improved education system, the Punjab CM said, “I hope that the administration of education in Sindh would help Punjab in improving their education system as well.”

The chief minister also extended invitations to Sindh governor and Sindh chief minister of Sindh to attend the inauguration ceremony of the metro bus project which will be held on Thursday.

Sindh CM trips as he receives Punjab CM

Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah has been the subject of much ridicule over his tenure. After all, he has been seen sleeping through speeches, had his hat constantly slip off his head as he addressed a graduation ceremony and worse, on Wednesday, Shah tripped.

As the Sindh chief minister stepped out of the old terminal of the Karachi airport after receiving Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, he was caught on camera as he tripped.

Luckily, people around him managed to keep him from falling.

Urban Legend | 8 years ago | Reply Budget allocated to Karachi is equal to that of Nawabshah. Shame on PPP!!!
atherkhanturi | 8 years ago | Reply sindh has more funds per capita than most other provinces in pakistan. but it has negligible use of it. all the funds in sindh are either wasted in corruption, or wasted by bad management. if there was a proper govt in sindh, it would not need loans from china. just from the revenue from port, all the cities of sindh can be run very well. and revenue from agriculture can support development in rural sindh. but all these are wasted.
