KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah held a meeting on Tuesday to discuss security arrangements for former president and Pakistan People’s Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari’s return to Karachi on December 23.

The meeting was attended by Nisar Khuhro, Senator Saeed Ghani, Waqar Mehdi and Acting IG Sindh Police Mushtaq Meher, Karachi Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner.

The CM directed participants of the meeting to make arrangements for people who would be at the airport to welcome Zardari. He added that a traffic plan should be put in place so that the public is not disturbed.

It was discussed during the meeting that the former president may be transferred to Bilawal House by a helicopter.

PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday announced that former president Asif Ali Zardari would return to Pakistan on Dec 23.

“If Asif Zardari is with us, then with his capabilities we will force the government to approve our four demands,” he said.

He said that doctors had allowed Zardari to travel, adding that everyone was praying for Zardari’s health.

It is pertinent to mention that Zardari had been in Dubai since 2015 under ‘self-exile’.
