Karachi: The Governor of Sindh Province Imran Ismail vowed on Saturday that his political party, PTI, opposes the province and will not accept the Chief Minister’s adviser Murtaza Wahab as Karachi’s administration “at all costs” Sir.

“[We] Will not accept Murtaza Wahab as the chief executive of Karachi at all costs,” Ismail said at an event organized by the Pakistan Actors Collective Trust.

In his speech on a series of issues, the governor claimed that after discussions between the federal and provincial governments, he decided to appoint the chief executive of the country’s largest city.

The governor also talked about the Green Line project, saying that the government has completed negotiations with Spanish companies. He assured the media that the federal government will not create any obstacles that would delay the start of the project.

Regarding the problem of students cheating in the preparatory exam, Ismail said that the fact of cheating in the provinces “is a big question mark for the future generations of the country.”

“People who haven’t studied for a whole year and are left behind because of the new crown virus are all cheating [in the exams],” said the Governor of Sindh Province. He added that this is unfair to students who are studying for exams throughout the year.

“The education department has a responsibility to stop students from cheating,” the governor said, apparently mocking Saeed Ghani, who holds a position in the Sindh provincial government.

In a speech to the community of actors, the Governor of Sindh praised the film made in Pakistan today. He added that the country’s drama “is an image of Pakistan”.

“Every time we try to replicate our neighboring countries, our quality will drop. The movies made in Pakistan today are wonderful, and the TV series are also wonderful,” Ismail said.

He also pledged to believe that the government will provide support to bring these plays to the International Film Festival.

Prior to Ismail’s statement, there were reports that the Sindh Provincial Government had decided to appoint Murtaza Wahab, the Legal and Environmental Advisor to the Chief Minister of Sindh, as the new Chief Executive of Karachi.
