Shafaqna Pakistan: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday, with the two leaders agreeing to promote political harmony and continue consultations on issues of national importance.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the meeting focused on political developments, matters related to Sindh, ongoing development projects and other issues of mutual interest.
Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah, Information Technology Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, Economic Affairs Minister Ahad Khan Cheema and Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik also attended the meeting.
The meeting took place amid growing political tensions between the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), particularly over the recent Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) elections.
The PML-N emerged as the leading party in the AJK polls, while the PPP has alleged rigging and irregularities in the electoral process.
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari last week announced that his party would withhold support for the PML-N-led government until its concerns, including those related to the AJK elections, were addressed.
Speaking to journalists at Parliament House, Bilawal strongly criticised the conduct of the AJK elections, alleging that the PPP had been defeated through rigging in several areas.
He said the PPP had raised concerns before the elections and had called for adequate security arrangements.
Bilawal further alleged that the PPP government in Poonch was defeated through rigging and criticised the decision to conduct the elections in phases, arguing that the electoral process had yet to be completed.
“If the PML-N wanted such a controversial election, then congratulations to them,” Bilawal said.
