KARACHI (Dunya News) – The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) led Sindh government on Monday hinted at the dissolution of provincial assembly in the wake of Pakistan Democratic Movement campaign against the federal government, Dunya News reported.
Sindh government spokesperson Murtaza Wahab while addressing a press conference in Karachi on Monday has said that the PPP can consider dissolving the Sindh Assembly.
Murtaza Wahab said that the chief minister has the right to dissolve assemblies under the Constitution and added that Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has tendered resignation to party leadership before he left the country on a private visit.
Earlier, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has submitted his resignation in the Bilawal House following Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) call.
The resignation is handwritten and has been received at the chairman secretariat. Over sixty members of Sindh assembly from Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) have tendered their resignations so far.
It is pertinent here to mention that PPP had earlier directed its Sindh assembly members to hand over their resignations – as a part of PDM’s anti-government campaign – to party leadership till December 14.
On the other hand, PPP member Sindh Assembly Ali Nawaz Mehr has refused to submit his resignation to the party leadership.
