KARACHI: PPP's nominated Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said on Wednesday that he would prefer to take along all political parties and govern the province with consensus.
During his talk with media personnel, Murad said that the province was facing many challenges especially with regard to the law and order situation. He said that as per the guidelines of his party's senior leadership, he would like to rule through consensus and have everyone involved in the important matters of Sindh.
Murad Ali Shah said that it was the legal right of every person to contest the elections for the Chief Minister's post and that every political party had the right to field its candidate.
In response to a question whether he would be an independent Chief Minister or take dictation from Asif Ali Zardari or Faryal Talpur, Murad Ali Shah said that it was a wrong perception and through his actions and performance, he would prove that he was a freethinking Chief Minister.
He also said that the ongoing Karachi operation would be successful if civilian institutions performed their responsibilities in the right way. Murad Ali Shah said that granting Rangers' powers was the need of the hour.
Incumbent Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah is expected to officially resign today during his meeting with Governor Ishratul Ebad Khan. Murad Ali Shah was nominated as PPP's new Chief Minister by party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Tuesday night.
