KARACHI: City Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab on Saturday criticised Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori over his recent statement and asked the prime minister to take immediate notice of his involvement in political activities. “Can a governor be engaged in politics? The governor should not carry any political party’s flag. He should raise the slogan of Pakistan Zindabad, not represent any party,” he said while talking to the media after laying the foundation stone of several development projects in district Korangi. In a thinly veiled comment on Mr Tessori’s recent statement in which he talked about the comeback of “bhai” and revival of “old MQM”, the mayor said: “Perhaps he thinks of himself as ‘Bhai’.” As the office of the president and provincial governors are apolitical, the mayor called on the prime minister to take immediate notice of the matter.
