To the Punjab government’s “bizarre” electricity assistance package, CM Murad responds

CM Murad Ali Shah stated at a ceremony in Karachi that they were caught off guard by these “strange” pronouncements. “The government of Sindh finds it challenging to respond to these absurd claims. I don’t want to get into politics, though,” he continued.

How can individuals find time to be on TV? asked the chief minister.

CM Murad Ali Shah continued, “My party chairman and Sindh information minister often get unhappy with me because I don’t appear on television to project the works being done in the province.”

When will he find time to work if he speaks on TV all the time, the chief minister inquired.

Prior to this, Mayor of Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab reacted to the Punjab government’s decision by stating that the people need long-term relief measures.

“There are a lot of solutions that come to mind when we (the Sindh government of PPP) consider assistance. After the people of Punjab have received respite for two months, what will happen? He inquired.

Judge Murtaza Wahab criticized the Punjab government’s strategy as well, arguing that leaders had to make long-term choices rather than “short-term” ones.
