Sindh Chief Minister (CM) Qaim Ali Shah and opposition leader of the Sindh Assembly Sardar Ahmed have started consultations for the formation of the caretaker government in the province, media reports said on Tuesday.
Quoting sources, the reports said that CM Qaim and Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad met thrice during the last 12 hours, after which the CM called for the opposition leader to hand him the names for the caretaker CM.
There were reports that the new dispensation was expected to consist of ten ministers and two advisers, of which six ministries could go to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and remaining four to the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP). One adviser each would be taken from the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F).
The sources further said that the provincial caretaker government was likely to be announced on Friday.
In the meantime, the opposition leader chaired the meeting of the opposition parties at his chamber and was attended among others by PML-F’s Jam Madad Ali and NPP’s Abid Jatoi. Later, the parties reached a consensus to give three names for the interim chief minister of the province.
