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.

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.
