Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said the objections raised by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Governor Imran Ismail against the probable appointment of Barrister Murtaza Wahab as new administrator of Karachi don’t carry any value.
He made this remark while talking to media persons on Wednesday, the first day of Eidul Azha. Responding to a query, he said the objections made no difference at all as they (the PTI and the governor) didn’t have any role in this affair. He said the law prescribed that it was the discretion of the Sindh government to appoint the city’s administrator.
