CM Sindh demands revocation of Presidential ordinance over islands

Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali on Wednesday reportedly challenged Federal government to take Bundal and Buddo islands to Islamabad if they could.

Demanding the revocation of Presidential ordinance, the CM said that the province never signed any Objection Certificate (NOC) to the centre for taking over the island alongside Karachi coast.

He claimed that the center “never let’s go of an opportunity to exploit Sindh province”, pointing out that the ordinance refers to the twin islands as federal property.

Furthermore, Murad Ali Shah said that federal minister does not have the courage to come clean on the matter and talk to the provincial government.

The presidential ordinance was taken out overnight to take over the provincial property and that it was done without apprising us or taking us in confidence, he added.

The CM said there would be no negotiations with the federal on the matter until the presidential ordinance is declared void.
