Bakhsh in Larkana, the chief minister while talking to reporters had negated the impression that the changes in the provincial bureaucracy had been carried out on the directives of the provincial apex committee.
The chief minister had also hinted on the occasion that the provincial government drive would continue its drive against inefficient or corrupt officials.
The matters related to the upcoming local government elections in the province in September this year, as per the directives of the apex judiciary, were also discussed in at the meeting. The party leadership discussed the financial, administrative and technological requirements for the polls.
It is likely that local government elections will be conducted in phases in Sindh to avoid mismanagement and rigging as was reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on 30 May.
The law and order situation in Sindh, especially the ongoing operation against criminals in Karachi over which the MQM has several reservations, was also discussed at the meeting.
The last time Zardari had convened such a meeting in Dubai was just before Eid on July 16 where at an Iftar-dinner reception in honour of PPP parliamentarians and ministers, he had directed the Sindh government to immediately convene a session of provincial assembly for an endorsement and assent to grant extension in Rangers’ stay in the province.

Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) Karachi division has lauded Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah and his entire team for the foolproof efforts for protecting the people of Karachi, especially during Ramzan, which led to record business activities and overall exchange of revenue amounting to Rs70 billion in Eid spending.
In a statement issued by the PPP’s Karachi division and leaders including Senator Saeed Ghani and Syed Najmi Alam, they said the chief minister had made an impressive show of his innate capabilities. They said it was his execution of administrative powers which led to the prevalence of peace and tranquillity and decreased in overall crime rate in the city.
In this regard, they said, the law enforcers, including Rangers and Sindh Police, also deserved due appreciation.
The overall law and order situation had saliently improved and the peoples’ confidence had taken a good boost, and the record spending of Rs70 billion in Eid spending was proof of that.
