Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has sent another letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan for the removal of Inspector General of Police Kaleem Imam and select one of the five recommended names proposed by the provincial government for the police chief. This is a third letter the province’s chief executive has written to the premier on the issue of appointment of a new IG. The Murad Ali Shah said the federal cabinet’s Jan 28 decision to put the issue on hold is a violation of a 1993 agreement. He insisted that one of the five names floated for the post be chosen to replace the incumbent IG. CM Murad said Kaleem Imam’s attitude is breeding hatred in the province as he has been degrading the provincial government with his non-serious and rude attitude. Earlier, Sindh Information Minister Saeed Ghani had accused the federal government of dragging its feet on appointment of a new police chief in the province saying the provincial government is in no mood to suggest another name for the slot of IG Sindh. Saeed Ghani lamented that the federal government didn’t want to replace the IG Sindh despite the fact that a consensus was reached on two names. “The federal government has muddied the issue,” he said, adding IGs in other provinces were replaced without ado while the issue of appointment of IG Sindh was taken to the federal cabinet.
