Karachi: Former Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah says delay in elections will be bad omen as it will embolden terrorists to silence people. He told media that Pakistan Peoples' Party would emerge victorious in February 8 elections. He said Bilawal Bhutto would become Prime Minister as rivals didn't have candidates.

Political opponents were at daggers drawn over symbols. PPP would spring surprise on election day as its Sindh government served masses during last flood, he said. He said law and order situation had never been ideal and terrorism had raised its head again. He condemned attack on Maulana Fazlur Rehman's convoy and recalled Benazir Bhutto was slain by terrorists.

It's unfortunate, he said, that PPP had been facing terror threat. Terrorists could not silence people, he added. He said Sindh was for Sindhis and those who defied ethnic spirit had no place in province. He said Bilawal was contesting election from Lahore, Larkana and Qambar.

He said Bilawal's worker would be fielded in Lyari and he would win. He said PPP was popular in all provinces. Party would have central executive committee meeting in Lahore on January 3. Shah condemned gold theft at shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar and said Sindh government would penalise culprits.
