The ruling party on Tuesday stuck to its demand of Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah's resignation as Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry arrived in Karachi on a two-day-long visit.

The information, reiterating the resignation demand, claimed that Murad was working against the interests of the masses, "hence, we are demanding for his resignation".

"We stand with the masses of Sindh as their money is not invested on them." He added that the incumbent government was striving to serve the lower and middle-class segments of society.

The information minister also claimed that certain individuals from Sindh's ruling party, the Pakistan Peoples Party, had contacted the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government for "bringing change in the province".

"It is Sindh's right to become part of the change."



The information minister further criticised the provincial chief executive and said that if Murad does not tender his resignation, the masses will assist us. "Bilawal is a child and children are apolitical, Murad's own constituency is in an abysmal condition." Fawad also alleged that Sindh’s funds were sent to Dubai and London, referring to the recent money laundering case involving transactions of billions through fake accounts.

"Zardari and Faryal have taken the people of Sindh hostage," the information minister went on to add.

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 should keep its suggestions to itself'

Taking a jibe at the federal government, adviser to the CM on corruption and information Murtaza Wahab said that the government has taken U-turns on every promises they made.

"The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) believes in hard work. Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf should keep its suggestions to itself."

On being criticised, they explain benefits of the U-turns, said Wahab, adding that we will get rid of this incompetent government.
