In-charge central election monitoring cell of Pakistan People’s Party, Taj Haider in a letter addressed to the Chief Election Commissioner has said that the permission of reshuffling of senior police officers in Sindh is in violation of the section 230 (f) of the Election Act 2017.
He wrote that there was no obvious reason or any kind of emergency or expediency which may have warranted the wholesale transfer of senior police officers.
Haider further informed the CEC about the former DG FIA who is now the provincial president of PML-N Sindh against whom the PPP had complained in its Report submitted to Commission of massive rigging in General Election 2018. The fresh posting of SP District Matiari is especially significant, because it was in this district the ex-DG FIA while in uniform had been accused of using his influence to change results. It is obvious that the retired DG FIA, now the PML-N president is using his old connections and influence to effect fresh illegal and unlawful postings. The concurrence of the Election Commission to the illegal and unlawful request is simply not understood.
