PPP govt under pressure from activists to hold LG polls: CM

Karachi: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said his government is under tremendous pressure from the workers of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party in the province to hold local government elections in Karachi and Hyderabad, for which he is ready and making necessary arrangements.

Talking to the media at St. Paul’s School where he presided over a cultural programme, Shah brushed aside the impression that his government was reluctant to hold the LG elections. “We are under pressure from our party workers for holding local government elections,” he said.
