Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is against imposing a ban on any political party.
His statement came after the Balochistan Assembly passed a resolution to impose a ban on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Speaking after a conference at a local hotel in Karachi, the Sindh CM took a jibe at the PTI protest in Islamabad, saying that a protest in Islamabad resembled a circus with “jokers” present.
“It seemed like a circus was staged by a particular political party, with jokers in attendance,” Murad Ali Shah said.
While he emphasised that the demand for the release of a particular individual was fundamentally wrong, he reaffirmed that the PPP opposes the banning of any political party.
A day earlier, the Balochistan Assembly passed with a majority vote a joint resolution of PML-N and PPP seeking an immediate ban on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
The session of the Balochistan Assembly was held under the chair of Speaker Abdul Khaliq Achakzai.
