Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah on Saturday said that there was no pressure on the Sindh government regarding Rangers deployment and powers in Karachi. He said the bill on the powers of Rangers and one-year extension would be approved by the Sindh Assembly.
Talking to media persons after offering Eid prayer and visit to Benazir Bhutto’s shrine in Garhi Khuda Bux along with Sindh Assembly Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani and other MPAs, Qaim Ali Shah said that transfers and postings in Sindh were done in order to address the complaints of corruption and the same would continue in future as well.
The CM said that police and Rangers released several of the arrested due to lack of evidence and got many of them convicted. He said that hiring or firing of the officers was not apex committee’s job. “The apex committee works for keeping law and order only,” he said.
Moreover, Qaim Ali Shah said that some people were re doing propaganda to portray a negative image of the Rangers.
