Sindh Government Criticizes “Swap” Remark, Calls It Insulting
Trade leader Atiq Mir’s humorous comment suggesting a swap of Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah with Punjab’s Maryam Nawaz has sparked reactions from the Sindh government. PPP representatives strongly defended CM Shah’s governance and criticized the remark as disrespectful to Sindh’s democratic mandate.
Key Points:
- Atiq Mir clarified that his statement was made in jest, not as a serious proposal.
- Sindh spokesperson Saadia Javed condemned the comment, calling it sycophantic and against the public mandate.
- PPP leaders highlighted Shah’s developmental achievements and defended his leadership in Sindh.
Mir later released a video, explaining his lighthearted intention and distancing himself from any critique of government performance.
