The last meeting between the top civil leaders had held in December when political tension in the province is escalating when the federal government placed the names of the Pakistan Peoples Party leadership, including Asif Ali Zardari, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Faryal Talpur and Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, on the Exit Control List (ECL) over their alleged involvement in the mega money laundering scam.

Shortly after meeting, a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader in Sindh, Khurram Sher Zaman had claimed that the party is going to form its government in Sindh province.

He alleged the Sindh government was involved in financial irregularities, adding that it’s only duty was to indulge in corrupt practices. “It has been proved that all this happened in its tenure,” he added.
