Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon has said that the provincial government and the Pakistan Peoples Party are always ready for local government elections in Karachi.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, he said the Sindh government had written a letter to the Election Commission of Pakistan to conduct local government elections in two phases due to a shortage of police personnel, who had been deputed for rain/flood emergency duties, but the Election Commission of Pakistan did not accept the proposal.
He said the ECP was a respectable institution, and if the Sindh government was assured of the availability of 15,000 police personnel for poll-related security duties in Karachi, then it would have been ready for local government elections in the city on October 23.
