Both leaders also agreed on keeping national institutions away from ongoing political discourse in the country, said sources.

It may be noted here that the former governor of Sindh is presently based in UAE and held meetings and telephonic conversations with different political leaders in recent times.

Back in January this year, former governor Ishratul Ebad and Sindh’s minister Nasir Shah had discussed local government law and other issues in a telephonic conversation.

“The government of Sindh should strengthen the local government system with improvement in institutions and provision of funds,” he suggested. “Hopefully the Sindh government will review the amendments in local councils law and try to make it better,” he had said.
