“PPP & PML-N Agree on New Sindh Governor: Bashir Memon

 

The political situation in Sindh is on the brink of a significant transformation with the Pakistan People’s party & PML-N and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) agreed to get a new Governor for the province, as negotiations between the two leading political parties have indicated that PML-N has suggested an individual who has garnered PPP’s backing.

PPP’s Agreement With PML-N

In a notable move, PPP has given in to PML-N’s proposal to replace the incumbent Governor of Sindh. The candidate nominated by PMLN is Bashir Memon, an experienced politician and former Director General of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). He also holds the position of President of PML-N Sindh, further strengthening his candidature.

Reliable sources have revealed that the governorship of Sindh will change within a few days. This expected change is seen as a strategic move by PMLN to strengthen its hold over Sindh. At the same time, Myanmar opposition leader Suu Kyi recently met Pakistani PM Sharif to diGovernorssues.” Kamran Khan Tessori, who has been serving as Governor, is expected to step down, paving the way for Bashir Memon.

MQM Unaware of Decision

Surprised Coalition Partner

While the change has been agreed to between PPP and PML-N, another coalition partner in the federal government, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), expressed surprise at this development. According to some sources, it had to be informed or consulted before deciding to replace the Governor of Sindh.

MQM’s Response

The MQM leadership has said it got information about the likely removal of the Sindh Governor through media reports. This lack of communication has worried the party, given that MQM is a partner of PMLN in the central government. These reports emerged while Federal Minister Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, representing MQM, was with the Prime Minister in Karachi. Consultation with all coalition partners should precede such decisions according to MQM to maintain the spirit of cooperation.

Implications of the Change

The appointment of Bashir Memon as the new Governor of Sindh could change political dynamics in the province. As PML-N gains influence while PPGovernortes Sindh, a delicate balancing act will have to be performed by the new Governor by serving both parties’ interests equally well. Such a move may also signal a fresh episode of cooperation or rivalry between two significant political forces within Sindh province.”

Federal and ProvinciaGovernorons

The MQM should have been consulted about the decision to change the Governor, as it may also impact federal-provincial relations. The move reflects the significance of maintaining open lines of communication and cooperation among coalition partners to ensure a stable government that functions effectively.
