Accompanied by senior leader Syed Khursheed Shah, Nisar Khohro and other party leaders, the chief minister said we have asked the federal government to appoint a committee headed by the attorney general to redesign the water share of the provinces.

Criticising the PTI government, the chief minister said they are about to complete their first 100 days in power but they have nothing to show as their performance. He said the Chief Justice of Pakistan while expressing appreciation for the provincial health sector had said the hospitals of Sindh are performing better than the rest of the country. Murad Ali Shah claimed that the Sindh government is addressing the health and nutrition issues of Tharparkar. The chief minister said he fully understands the concerns of the sugar cane growers and would ensure speedy payment.
