KARACHI/DHABEJI -- Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that the Council of Common Interest (CCI) meeting is not called within a year and when it is called its minutes are delayed and when minutes are released they deliberately made hotchpotch so that the implementation of the decisions taken in the meeting could not be delayed further.
