MQM-P shows concerns over appointment of administrators in Sindh

KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) has raised concerns over appointment of administrators in Sindh including Karachi, ARY News reported on Monday.

According to MQM-P, the provincial government of Pakistan People’s Party not consulted them over appointments and termed the appointments on favouritism.

Sindh government has neglected locals in the recent appointments of the administrators and added that this shows alleged biased behaviour of the PPP government.

The MQM-P demanded of the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Chief Justice Sindh High Court and other concerned authorities to take notice of the matter.

On Sunday, the government of Sindh had appointed administrators in all districts of the province after the local councils completed their mandated tenure in the province.
