KARACHI: The Pakistan People's Party and the
Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Sunday agreed to
revive the magistracy system to check inflation and
hoarding.
The decision was taken in a meeting held at the
Chief Minister House here. Chief Minister Qaim Ali
Shah, Finance Minister Murad Shah and Law Minister
Ayaz Soomro represented the PPP while Syed Sardar
Ahmed and Farooq Sattar were present on behalf of
the Muttahida. However, no official statement was
issued by the CM House.
Talking to media persons, Sardar Ahmed said the
magistracy system will be revived and a draft bill
will be prepared on Monday in this regard. The Sindh
Cabinet had formed a sub-committee to revive the
magistracy system, following the decision of the
federal government in this regard in a meeting
attended by the four chief secretaries. A source
privy to the situation said the magistracy system
would likely be revived under the CrPC. |
