Centre, provinces working amicably: Pervaiz Rashid

Lahore: Federal Minister for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Senator Pervaiz Rashid on Saturday said that the Centre and provinces were working amicably and the grievances of Sindh Chief Minister would be addressed.

Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah had met Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif in Islamabad and latter directed Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan, who was present in the meeting, to address the grievances of the CM, he said while talking to media persons here at the National College of Arts (NCA).

Advisor to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz was also present on the occasion.

Senator Pervaiz Rashid said in the past whichever political party was in power at the Centre, it used to meddle in the affairs of provincial governments and even imposed governor’s rule in the provinces, but the present Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government had abandoned that tradition.

Regarding Pervaiz Khattak’s reservations on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), he said Federal Minister for Planning Ahsan Iqbal had held a meeting with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister and discussed all the matters at length.
