Zardari rules out possibility of Governor rule in Sindh

KARACHI: Former president of Pakistan and co-chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Asif Ali Zardari ruled out on Monday possibility of Governor rule in Sindh province.

In a statement issued here, he also dismissed possibility of Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah’s resignation. “There will be no Governor rule and change of chief minister,” he said.

The PPP co-chairman said imposition of Governor rule has become more difficult with the passage of 18th Constitutional Amendment. “I am not afraid of Governor rule,” he added.

Zardari went on to say that there was nothing left for him to say over Zulfiqar Mirza’s recent tirade directed at him.

He further said that PPP patron-in-chief Bilawl Bhutto-Zardari has reached Dubai for his expected arrival in Pakistan.

Commenting on Pakistan-China Economic Corridor project, the former president said that his government had approved the 1000-mile-long highway for the project.

However, he added that he was ready to convince all political parties over the newly proposed 1,500 miles long highway if the government wanted it.
