KARACHI: (HRNW) Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) on Wednesday objected to the removal of several senior bureaucrats “having domicile of Sindh” in a recent reshuffle, said to be conducted on directive of the Election Commission of Pakistan.
The objection was raised during a meeting between a delegation of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Caretaker Prime Minister (PM) Anwaarul Haq Kakar, who is on an official visit to Karachi.
The delegation included Mayor Karachi Murtaza Wahab, former chief ministers Qaim Ali Shah and Syed Murad Ali Shah and former Sindh minister Saeed Ghani. Caretaker Information Minister Murtaza Solangi was also present in the meeting.
During the meeting, the PPP delegation said there is an impression that senior bureaucrats “having domicile of Sindh” were transferred after caretaker government came into power.
“Seven BS-22 officers having domicile of Sindh were removed from their posts,” the PPP told caretaker prime minister. The delegation claimed that funds for development work in the province have also been frozen.
The PPP pointed out that development funds cannot be frozen until election date is announced.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister assured the delegation that all resources will be utilised to resolve the issues at the earliest.
It is pertinent to mention here that the caretaker government continued to reshuffle senior officers of the bureaucracy across the country.
