The provincial minister for information said that he and other cabinet members were not afraid at all, adding that he and his colleagues in the cabinet would face the adverse circumstances valiantly. He was talking to the media after attending the annual theater display at Arts Council Institute of Arts and Crafts here.

Ghani said that there were few officers in the Sindh Police, who were hatching conspiracies against the Sindh government under the leadership of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Syed Kalim Imam.

Speaking about the allegations leveled against him by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Dr Rizwan, the minister said that he had no objection to whosoever conducted an inquiry to reach to the veracity of these allegations.

The provincial minister said that there were few black sheep in the police department who were constantly striving to bring bad name to the Sindh government. On the accusations made against Sindh Energy Minister Imtiaz Ahmed Shaikh, Ghani said that the energy minister would soon clarify every allegation made against him.
