PTI submits motion against CM Murad, reiterates resignation demand

PTI leader warns of protest if motion not accepted

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday submitted a motion in the Sindh Assembly against Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and reiterated the demand for his resignation.

PTI leader Khurram Sher Zaman addressed the media outside the Sindh Assembly and cautioned the Sindh government of strong protest if the adjournment motion is not accepted.

"Murad has been involved in criminal activities and is longer Sadiq and Ameen," he said, adding that joint investigation team (JIT) findings are "horrific".



"It is disturbing as to how the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has been running the government since the past 11 years," the PTI leader added.

The adjournment motion against Sindh CM has been submitted under Rule 85 of Rules of Procedure of Provincial Assembly of Sindh, 2016.

PPP's Murtaza Wahab criticises PTI 

Advisor to Sindh CM on Law, Corruption and Establishment Murtaza Wahab denounced the federal government and said that "PTI should worry about themselves".

He further said that the PPP believes in the Constitution and is aware of the law, unlike PTI. Targeting the ruling party, he said it has "barely provided for the people" since they came to power.



On December 28, the ruling party demanded the resignation of CM Murad after his name was added to the Exit Control List (ECL).

Murad was one of the 172 individuals added to the no-fly list by the federal government in connection with the fake accounts money laundering case. PTI’s Zaman made the demand during a press conference.

PTI MPA Haleem Adil Sheikh, on the occasion, alleged that “Shah is a criminal of Sindh and he must step down from chief minister’s position”.
