“Sindh government lost the National Museum and the money spent on it due to lack of effort,” he told The Express Tribune, while seeking anonymity. “We had launched different projects inside the premises of National Museum and spent money on these projects because it was Sindh government’s property,” said Manzoor. Barrister Farooq H Naek is also assisting the government’s legal team in the matter, Manzoor added. The National Museum has been at the centre of an ownership battle between the Federal and Provincial governments since 2017. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court ordered that the National Museum of Pakistan be transferred back to the federal government.
