Sindh Chief Minister (CM) Murad Ali Shah while addressing a rally in Karachi on Wednesday said that people have lost faith in the federal government after the centre denied provision of gas and power to the province.

The chief minister was speaking at a rally held near Quaid-i-Azam's mausoleum in Karachi as the PPP began its protest campaign against loadshedding.

"They [PML-n] don't give us our share of gas, they don't give us electricity and this is the reason the country has lost faith in them," the chief minister said speaking.

"After they lost the trust of the people, the judiciary declared him [Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif] a liar," the chief minister said, referring to the Supreme Court's verdict in the Panamagate case.

As supporters gathered at the rally started chanting "Go Nawaz, go," Shah said that he, too, had chanted that slogan at a rally in August on Karachi's Karsaz Road.

"I was criticised for chanting that slogan, but today the world is saying "Go Nawaz, go," he said.

"They [PML-N] should listen to the voice of the people, the voice of the judiciary. It will be better for the country that the prime minister tenders his resignation," Shah said.

"Democracy should be allowed to flourish in the country," he added.
