Murad says his govt is ready to hold local bodies election

KARACHI, Dec 03 (NNI): Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that his government is under tremendous pressure from party workers to hold local bodies elections for which he is ready and making necessary arrangements.
This he said while talking to the media at St. Paul’s School where he had presided over a cultural programme on Saturday.
Mr. Shah brushed aside the impression that his government was reluctant to hold local bodies elections. “We are under pressure from our party workers for holding local bodies elections,” he said and added his government was ready to hold local government polls.
The CM, disagreeing with a media person, said that the MQM has no reservations over the local government election, but they have some reservations over the constituencies. “We, the PPP and MQM are working together in the larger interest of the people of the province,” he said and added “we had worked as coalition partners in 2008 and. In 2013 but then the MQM decided to make a new experiment of working as partners with PML-N and PTI.” NNI
