The CM thanked the scholars for promoting sectarian harmony in the province. “I am thankful to Ulema of different schools of thought for their constructive and responsible role in promoting sectarian and interfaith harmony,” he said, adding that religious scholars had played a significant role in making Sindh a peaceful place.

The scholars thanked the provincial government for its support for religious events. They suggested to the CM that the route of the Rabiul Awwal procession should be maintained properly by carrying out patchwork and repairing choked drainage lines. To this, the CM said the KMC with the support of the provincial government had already started the repair works.

The scholars complained to the CM that the K-Electric had resorted to load-shedding, due to which the illumination of mosques and other buildings would be affected. Shah told them that he had already directed the power utility to ensure proper supply of electricity.
