KARACHI (DNA)’’ Justice ® Saeeduz Zaman Siddique will take over as new Governor of Sindh shortly.

Mr. Saeeduz Zaman Siddique was contacted by the prime minister a couple of years ago and his consent was taken. On Wednesday Prime Minister met with the President Mamnoon Hussain and conveyed him this decision.

Ishtraul Ibad remained Sindh governor for 14 years. He is the longest serving governor Sindh.

Few weeks ago Ishtart developed differences with Pak Sarzameen party leaders. He was accused of patronizing terrorists.

Political analysts believe after disintegration of MQM there was no need to keep Ishrat as governor he his main task was to create divisions within the MQM which he did successfully.
