minister Sardar Ali Shah has vowed to preserve all historical sites in Sindh
and restore the Kotdiji fort. Talking to media persons after visiting Masoom

the federal government till 2012, but it did nothing to preserve the historical
sites in Sindh.

On the contrary, many
artifacts were shifted to Punjab, he remarked. Some of the cannons at the
Kotdiji Fort were taken to Punjab, which will be returned back to its original
place, he added. “Being the custodian of historical sites, it is my duty to protect
all the historical sites,” he said.
Replying to a question
regarding the slow pace of work on the Benazir Bhutto Cultural Complex in
Sukkur, he said that the works and services department was responsible for the
construction and he will inquire from them about the delay.
