Sindh rulers defaming police for political gains: Haleem Adil.

KARACHI -- Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) Vice President and parliamentary party leader in Sindh assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh has said the rulers of Sindh are now defaming the police of this province, and for a couple of days they have started a poisonous disinformation drive against the police department.

Addressing a crowded press conference at the Insaf House here Thursday, flanked by opposition leader in Sindh Assembly FirdousShamim Naqvi, central deputy secretary general Ashraf Qureshi, central deputy secretary information Tahir Malik, MPA RiazHaider and others, he said for a couple of days we have been seeing that disinformation cell of the Sindh government is made very active. He said a series of allegations is being leveled against Sindh police. He said it seems that only police department is corrupt in Sindh, while all other departments are honest, pure and clean.

He reminded that just three days ago Sindh chief minister had claimed that Karachi is a safe city. He asked would the chief minister like to deny that the Sindh police had also played a crucial role in making Karachi a safe city. He asked was Murad Shah himself who was doing policing of the megacity.

He said when target killings and ransom crimes were at their peak in Karachi, the rulers did not blame IGPs of Sindh. He said Ghulam HaiderJamali also became IGP Sindh and corruption marred the Sindh police, but he was not removed.

He said; however, A D Khuwaja was removed because he was honest and competent officer. He said Kaleem Imam is a best police officer with exemplary performance but the rulers of Sindh want an IGP who works like their slave.

He said the vehicle of SSP of Umerkot had hit the vehicle of Justice Gulzar and it was a grave misconduct but no action was taken against the SSP Umerkot. He said similarly the inquiry report of Javed Ahmed Baloch is pending, but the report against Ghulam AsgharMahesar was promptly filed because he had taken statement from YousufThaily-Walla. He said that Thaily-Walla had only told the truth.

Haleem Adil said that reports of misconduct against SSP Nisar Ahmed Channa, Zulfiqar Ali Shah, Dr Farooq Azam, Ghulam SarwarAbro, AitzazDarayo, Aijaz Hashmi, Kamran Rashdi, KashifAbbasi, Syed Ali Arif and other police officers were...
