The development has come in a day after former president and co-chairman of Pakistan People’s Party signaled greenlight to the extension of paramilitary force’s stay.

A meeting between newly appointed chief minister and Zardari took place for over five hours in Dubai on Sunday, sources said.
Khan was also hopeful that the new chief minister in Sindh would help resolve the unsettled issue with the help of the PPP-led Sindh government.
Mandhro and Dahar are both the covering candidates of Murad Ali Shah and would withdraw their candidature before the start of polling in the assembly. The Chief Minister admonished officers of the Sindh Secretariat for arriving late for work. “The party co-chairman only gives the policy”, he stated.
According to CM’s spokesperson, Shah has signed the summary to extend the Rangers’ stay in Sindh for one year and an extension of 90 days in the special powers of the paramilitary force that can only be exercised in Karachi.
Murad Ali Shah also said that he would try to ensure that he remained most of the time in Sindh and did not make frequent trips to Dubai.

Syed Murad Ali Shah, of the Pakistan Peoples Party, was on Friday elected as the new Sindh Chief Minister, replacing the elderly Syed Qaim Ali Shah, who was midway through his third term but had resigned earlier this week on the party’s directive. “My mother’s blessings and my father’s guidance have brought me to where I’m today”, he said and added that he is committed to following the foot prints of his father Syed Abdullah Shah, the former Chief Minister of Sindh.
