In a tone of sarcasm, Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah congratulated Pakistan Muslim League-N chief Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on receiving the titles of ‘Takht-e-Punjab’and ‘Takht-e-Lahore’ by Pir Pagara during their visit to Sindh on Tuesday.


Talking to a delegation of PPP office bearers, Shah said the titles clearly demonstrate the Sharif brothers’ credentials as “pygmy politicians,” who are confined to Punjab and Lahore. The Sharifs have a narrow vision and a limited political agenda which is confined to the province of Punjab alone, he added. According to a press release, the Sindh chief minister further said that the alliances Nawaz is making for Sindh will not help him bag even a single seat in Sindh as people know him as a product of zia’s martial law.
