KARACHI, Jan 20: The MQM’s coordination committee has criticized the posting of police officials from Punjab in Sindh and termed it an injustice with the province.
Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, deputy convener of the committee, in a statement faxed from London, claimed that most of the Sindh police personnel, from constable level to the inspector general, belonged to Punjab and the process of posting the outsiders in the province was continuing under different names.
He said the locals were being ignored on various pretexts while the non-locals were being recruited in the police force to continue Sindh as a colony of the establishment. The Muttahida leader said the permanent residents of Sindh had united to get the province free from the clutches of the establishment.
Meanwhile, former Haq Parast MPAs of the Sindh assembly from Karachi, in a statement, have expressed concern over the increasing incidents of dacoities and thefts in different parts of the city.
They appealed to the interior minister and Sindh governor to take notice of the incidents and ensure concrete measures for the security of life and property of the citizens.
POLIO DRIVE: Altaf Husain, chief of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, has appealed to the people to extend whole-hearted cooperation to a polio eradication campaign to be launched by the Khidmat-i-Khalq Foundation (KKF) in the country, and save valuable lives of children from this serious disease.
In his appeal, the MQM chief said the KKF was an organization that had been serving the nation without any discrimination and despite shortage of funds engaged in elimination of the crippling disease.
He said volunteers of the KKF would launch a three-day anti-polio drive from Jan 22, and they would be visiting homes to explain to people the seriousness of the disease and would provide anti-polio drops to children up to the age of five years.
