ISLAMABAD: The Government decided on Saturday to restore local government system in Sindh and make Nawabshah part of Hyderabad district..
The decision came after a meeting between Governor Sindh Dr. Ishratul Ibad and PPP leader Dr Babar Awan.
The proposal to change the local government system in Sindh was believed to be one of the main differences between the PPP and MQM.
Prior to the decision, Dr Ibad had said consultations were going on to take political and administrative steps in order to improve Karachi’s security situation, DawnNews reported.
He further said that “why should we allow the conditions to deteriorate to a point that we have to call in the army?”
Dr Ibad was speaking to media representatives in Islamabad after a meeting with Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Dr Babar Awan.
Moreover, Dr Ibad had said that the result of meeting with the senior PPP leader would soon be evident.
Problems between political parties have a negative effect on the country and certain elements use the situation to their advantage, he said, adding that talks between the PPP and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) were ongoing.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Awan said his meeting with Dr Ibad took place in a favourable atmosphere.
Dr Awan further said that President Asif Ali Zardari and MQM chief Altaf Hussain had played a significant role to strengthen democracy in Pakistan.
