ISLAMABAD, Nov 29: Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf chief Imran Khan announced on Thursday full support for the strike call given by the Sindhi nationalist parties and Pakistan Muslim League-Functional chief Pir Pagaro against the new local government law in Sindh.

In a statement issued here, Mr Khan said his party would never allow any move to divide Sindh and it thought that different systems for rural and urban Sindh were the first step in this direction.

“We will continue our support to the nationalist parties until and unless the dual local bodies system is repealed,” Mr Khan said.

Appreciating efforts of the Awami Tehrik, PML-F and other nationalist parties, Mr Khan said that sacrifices made by the Sindhi people against the dual system would never go to waste.
