Centre recommends three names for Sindh inspector general’s post

Karachi (HRNW) The federal government has recommended three names for the post of Sindh inspector general, sources said Wednesday, as the centre-Sindh row over IG Mushtaq Mahar continues to deepen.

It began with the arrest of Sindh Assembly Opposition Leader Haleem Adil Sheikh last week. He is accused of violating electoral rules and interfering with an anti-encroachment operation in Malir’s Memon Goth.

On Monday, Sindh Governor Imran Ismail said he had written a letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan, seeking immediate removal of IG Mahar. He wished for a police chief in Sindh “who may not oblige anyone”.

The names recommended by the centre include FIA DG Wajid Zia, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa IG Dr Sanaullah Abbasi and former Balochistan IG Moazzam Jah Ansari, according to the sources with the federal government.

The Sindh government, however, says that it has not yet received any letter from the centre recommending the names for the new Sindh IG.
