Wajid Durrani has been appointed new chief of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and a notification has also been issued by the Establishment Division in this regard. A source told Pakistan Today that Durrani was notified as new director general of the IB following his formal interview by Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani in a quiet meeting held on Friday. However, no official was available to confirm the notification. The source said no official had been appointed Sindh IG to replace Durrani as there was a lot of lobbying by Sindhi politicians. “Fayyaz Leghari and Mushtaq Shah are front runners for the slot and Leghari has Punjab Governor Latif Khosa’s backing and some Sindh ministers while Shah enjoys support from Religious Affairs Minister Khurshid Shah,” said the source, adding that Shah was better placed than Leghari and he would most likely succeed Durrani as Sindh IG.
Mushtaq Shah
