Asad Umar claims Sindh CM doesn’t own Karachi Top Story February 1, 2021 KARACHI: Federal Planning and Development Minister Asad Umar has claimed that Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah doesn’t own Karachi as, according to him, the present status of the local government system in Sindh also corroborates this assertion. The federal planning and development minister made the claim to this effect on Sunday as he addressed a ceremony to inaugurate the central office of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Shah Faisal Colony pertaining to the constituencies NA-239 and PS-98. Asad Umar further claimed on the occasion that the existing local government system in Karachi didn’t match the spirit of the Constitution of Pakistan. He said the local governments should possess all the powers related to municipal governance but the case of Karachi was different. He said the Sindh CM and relevant provincial ministers verbally agreed to fulfill the demand to devolve powers to the local governments but in actual they didn’t take any such step.
