Furthering his stance on how the province feels about matches in its stadium, Shah added Karachi will readily host international matches in the metropolis as well.

During the session, Murad Ali Shah praised the police operation in Katcha areas of Khairpur and Larkana where six bandits including Pathan Narejo and Iqbal Narejo were killed, the two notorious dacoits for which the government announced prize money worth Rs2 million each. The police personnel had also recovered the anti-aircraft gun, two G3 rifles, SMG and a rocket launcher during the operation.
