The Sindh government has asked the center to establish a judicial commission tasked with examining the actions of the Federal Investigation Agency in the province, in a statement issued on Saturday.
“The provincial government deems the actions of FIA and NAB (National Accountability Bureau) in Sindh as ‘a strode over move’ (sic) of their limits and jurisdiction,” said the statement.
It added that Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had informed PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari that he was prepared to constitute a judicial commission to look into the FIA if Zardari so desired.
“The Sindh government would appreciate if Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, in order to keep the record straight, takes a bold initiative to constitute a judicial commission to look into the FIA raids in Sindh,” the statement said.
According to the provincial government, the FIA had removed more than 15,000 files of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation. Sindh feels that the FIA had no authority and jurisdiction to conduct raids on its offices.
