The rift between Sindh Inspector General Police (IGP) AD Khawaja and Home Department has been further deepened after the Sindh government curtailed the powers of the IG and took away the right of transfers and appointments of the police officials from him.
In a notification, Sindh chief secretary said that the powers to appoint or transfer police officials have been suspended and now he can’t appoint or transfer any police official.
After the Sindh government’s new order, the Sindh IG even could not appoint SSP level officer while the gulf with Sindh government would be further widen.
It is pertinent to mention that the rift between the IG and the provincial government continued for few months and the Sindh government had removed him for his post but later SHC setting aside Sindh government’s decision restored him.
