Sindh governor dissolves provincial assembly on CM’s advice
KARACHI (Dunya News) - Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori Friday dissolved the provincial assembly after signing the summary sent to him by Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah.
The Sindh cabinet got dissolved with dissolution of the provincial assembly. However, Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah will continue to hold the office until the appointment of caretaker Sindh chief minister.
The Sindh Assembly got dissolved under Article 112 of the Constitution a day before its constitutional term.
Earlier in the day, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah forwarded a summary to the governor for dissolution of the provincial assembly.
Addressing the last session of the Sindh Assembly, the CM said, “I congratulate all over successful completion of five years tenure. These five years were not easy.”
The Sindh chief minister said that Shaheed Benazir Bhutto asked him to contest elections in 2002 and he was elected as the chief minister for four times since then. Sindh Assembly, he said, was a historical house and it was barred several times from functioning.
He said that the Sindh Assembly speaker was sent to jail and there had been many hurdles in its way. The CM regretted that over 2.1 million houses were damaged in the floods while 20,000 schools lost their basic structures. He added that the Sindh was subjected to destabilisation and many cases were registered during this tenure.
Shah also stated that a big case was lodged against him, so that he would be arrested, adding that the Sindh Assembly speaker was still coming from the jail to preside over the house proceedings.
During the Covid-19, the strict measures were adopted by the Sindh government, he said, adding that the hospitals were set up for treatment of several diseases in the record short time.
“Our performance was better from many developed countries during the Covid-19,” he added.
