Federal govt seeks resignation from Sindh Governor: sources

ISLAMABAD: The federal government has sought resignation from Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan, sources told Geo News on Thursday.

According to sources, the government holds the stance that after the allegations by executed convict Saulat Mirza, it is unsuitable for Dr Ebad to remain the Sindh governor.

Sources said Dr Ebad has asked for one month to resign from his position.

Dr Ebad has said that he is currently occupied with some private engagements and after the completion of some left over responsibilities, he will resign.

Sources said that the Federal government has also taken the Sindh government into confidence over the decision.

According to sources, high level consultations have begun for the appointment of a new Sindh governor.
