MULTAN - Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Sunday ruled out the possibility of Governor’s Rule in Sindh, saying that an elected government was in power in the province.

Talking to journalists here, Shah Mahmood Qureshi said it was a baseless news that the government was going to impose Governor’s rule in Sindh.

The foreign minister said that All Parties Conference (APC) always had an agenda in the past but the APC being proposed by the opposition nowadays does not have any agenda which was beyond one’s comprehension.

The foreign minister said that All Parties Conference (APC) of opposition seems to have no agenda but to save its leaders.

To a question, Qureshi said the problems faced by the country have not been created in last 60 days, adding that masses were well aware of the fact that who was responsible for these issues. He said that onus of various problems including economic woes didn’t lie with the PTI-led government.

To another question, he replied that the institutions of accountability were independent and the government had nothing to do with it.”PTI always believes in across the board accountability,” he said.

To a query, the minister said no one can be arrested on the wish of anybody, adding that the institutions concerned would decide about it.

On formation of South Punjab province, he said the committees were working on the subject, however, the government would need the support of other political parties for constitutional amendment for creation of a province.

Qureshi said the government is not dictating the accountability institutions and they are working independently. “We want to continue the accountability to continue without any discrimination,” he added.

He said that the government is neither dictating nor pressurising any accountability institution and all including Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari were aware of the fact but still levelling baseless allegations was illogical.
