Hyderabad: Replying to question, he said that political party did not emerge merely by winning votes and bagging seats, but it needed to adhere to political norms, "PTI will have to review its role if it is demonstrating political behaviour or not," he said.

"We [PPP] have not been consulted for banning PTI, but as matter of fact, Pakistan Peoples' Party has never been in favour of banning any political body, " Shah said. To question, he said that his government was constructing 2.1 million houses for flood-affected people. Of them, 1.5 million [houses] have been completed and 600,000 are under construction.

Murad Shah said that he was trying to complete the largest housing project for flood-affected people by December 2025. While talking to media in Karachi, Shah said that a wave of terrorism has emerged in country. "This is why extraordinary security arrangements had been made to avoid any untoward incident on Ashura," he said.
