regular manner while he hadn’t done anything extraordinary during the day which could have indicated that he had been planning to step down soon. Neither the Governor House here received any indication that Dr Ebad would be asked by the presidency in Islamabad any time soon to step down.
While appearing on the Geo News TV show, Dr Ebad explained that he had done nothing in violation of the law of the land or the Constitution to help out any person lest any criminal. He said that a citizens’ complaint redressal cell had been working at the Sindh Governor’s House entertaining complaints and applications of the aggrieved general citizens to help them out for resolution of their issues within the ambit of the law and constitution.
Earlier in the day, Dr Ebad talked to former president Asif Ali Zardari, MQM chief Altaf Hussain, and Federal Interior Minister Chauhdry Nisar Ali Khan, and talked to him in detail about the evolving political situation in the backdrop of the allegations being leveled by the death row inmate, Saulat Mirza.
Sources privy to these conversations said that former president Zardari and Dr Ebad, among other matters of mutual interest, also talked about the ongoing process of talks between the MQM and PPP on Muttahida’s re-induction as a coalition partner in the Sindh government in the backdrop of Saulat Mirza’s allegations against the MQM and PPP’s provincial government.
Later in the night, Dr Ebad as part of his regular official engagements, met at Governor House the visiting student-officers from the Pakistan Army’s Command and Staff College in Quetta. During his speech to the participants of the army’s staff and command course, the governor, while observing his formal and regular ways of delivering speeches at such ceremonial occasions, shed light in detail on the importance of Karachi being the hub of economic and commercial activities in the country and also the government’s efforts to carry out development works here.
