KARACHI: Recently appointed Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah kicked off his first day on office on Saturday by standing up against Pakistan's VIP culture as he ordered authorities to remove barriers and encroachments around the CM House in Karachi.

Appointed as chief minister of Sindh a day earlier, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) stalwart Murad Ali Shah promised to make Sindh “safe, secure, healthy, wealthy and literate” after he was elected as the new provincial chief minister on Friday.

Reports revealed Murad is also in talks with respective authorities to reduce the number of police cars assigned for the CM's protocol.

PPP's Murad Ali Shah elected as new Sindh CM

Soon after his appointment, Murad announced the top priorities of his government would be law and order, health services and education. He would induct a “small cabinet on merit” within two days.

“I will not avail a large security protocol that creates problems for commuters,” Murad said in his policy statement after his victory. “People’s power, people’s authority and people’s rule is my agenda.”

Who is Murad Ali Shah?

“I am focused and have clear targets to make Sindh safe, secure, healthy, wealthy and literate,” he said, inviting all Sindh Assembly members to “work together for a cleaner Karachi, a greener Thar and a safer Sindh.”

SYED | 8 years ago | Reply Zardari - The Game Changer! He had pitched the in-swinger in Sindh politics at right time. After reading new CM policy, I can certainly predict now with all due Regrets that PPP is next Govt. People should get ready for historic corruptions & loot & bloodshed. God Protect My Country, My People, My Motherland, Aameen.

Brainy Bhaijan | 8 years ago | Reply PPP, PMLN etc are all run like mafias, where no member at the bottom is allowed to become a challenge for the kings and queens at the top. If he becomes famous like Mustafa Kamal, he would be kicked out of the PPP.

R a Rashid | 8 years ago | Reply Getting ready for the next Election. 'Removing Barriers' Another Dummy CM in place.

Aziz | 8 years ago | Reply Good PR work for a new CM. A province used to nothing but nepotism, corruption and disdainful disregard of rule of law would need sustained delivery of good governance to be convinced of anything otherwise.

F Khan | 8 years ago | Reply This is all symbolic, lets see a couple of weeks and we will know how he manages law and order & corruption. My gut feeling is he is also another rubber stamp being controlled from Dubai.
