According to details, Governor Sindh Imran Ismail and Federal Minister for Law and Justice Farogh Naseem met with Prime Minister Imran Khan in Islamabad.

During the meeting, it was agreed to give one more ministry to MQM-P in the federation. It was also decided in the meeting that Centre will provide a financial package to Mayors of Karachi and Hyderabad.

While talking to journalists, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that before Khan came to power, every politician thought that “corruption was their right”.
