Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Ali Zaidi and Chief Minister of Sindh have penned letters to Prime Minister after a verbal clash in Karachi Transformation Plan meeting earlier this month.

Ali Zaidi, in a series of tweets on Saturday, presented his side of the story and said that during a meeting on January 16, he requested CM Sindh to include the devolution of organizations like SBCA and SWWMB to divisional levels as committed by him months ago.

“CM Sindh replied by saying that I’m not answerable to you” 3 times. So if Mr. Know it all feels he’s not even answerable to elected members of the National Assembly from his province then there was no further need for me to waste my time sitting in that meeting
and I walked out”, Ali Zaidi said.

The federal minister, while sharing his and CM Sindh’s letter to PM Imran, said that Murad Ali Shah had the audacity to write to the PM and his letter shows nothing but arrogance and conceit”

“He does not even have the etiquette and manners on how to address the office of the Prime Minister.”

Ali Zaidi further said that a high-powered committee of Federal and provincial ministers, CM, Chairman NDMA, heads of various law enforcement agencies held multiple meetings just to discuss how to clean garbage from storm drains and remove encroachments all because of a corrupt provincial government that has looted for decades.
