Taking on federal and provincial governments, PTI chief said all developmental work is being carried out in Lahore.

PTI chief dispelled the question of division of Sindh by saying he doesn’t want to get into it and that demands of Sindh 1 and Sindh 2 are like Indian movies Dhoom 1 and Dhoom 2.
PTI has rejected MQM chief’s demands a number of times and spokesperson Shireen Mazari had earlier said they might consider filing petition against Altaf Hussain’s statements.
Addressing a party gathering in Karachi on Sunday via telephone from London, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain had proposed the formation of ‘Sindh 1’ for the populace considered as Sindhi by PPP and ‘Sindh 2’ for rest of the province where people belonging to other ethnicities reside.
“This way Sindh will not break. No one desired to break Sindh. Urban populace of Sindh is ready to become Sindh 2, you be Sindh 1, we both will work for the welfare of Sindh and then the world will decide which part of Sindh progresses more.” said MQM chief on Sunday.
