Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah initially rejected a proposal by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi to create new provinces, describing the idea as a “worn-out, recycled concept” that the people of Sindh would not accept. During this period, Shah also called for political parties to end boycotts and participate in elections.

Following these tensions, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief Minister Shah met in Islamabad to review development projects in Sindh. The meeting focused on strengthening cooperation between federal and provincial administrations regarding infrastructure, energy, and urban development. Both leaders agreed to promote political tolerance and maintain regular consultations to resolve administrative and electoral concerns.
