At the outset of his speech at the Benazir Hari Card launch, CM Murad Ali Shah addressed the recent controversy surrounding police action against participants of the Sindh Rawadari March.
"I was deeply hurt by the police action, and I apologise for it," he said and went on to say that he would ensure that such incidents are not repeated in the future.
The chief minister explained that due to increased security concerns in the city the organizers of the Rawadari March were asked to postpone their protest because Section 144 had been imposed to prevent public gatherings. Unfortunately, the government's request was not heeded.
