Shahid sahib when your department is corrupt how can you expect the morale of your officers is in tact or if they have any at all. Please sure that you don't stop merely at words.

IGP now comes out with this white wash. He should be asking: How did the suicide bomber know where and when this slain police officer would be moving? Launch an internal investigation and clean up your own house first.

Mr.IGP Sind, please clear your department from black sheep who were allegedly giving information about the movement of slain officer. Someone call Chaudhri Aslam to come to police headquarter and TTP terrorists were aware of his movement. Who that "someone" was, is your responsibility to find out. You need a major reshuffle in your department. There is no shortage of brave police officers who can counter terrorists and can give them a run all the time as was done by late Chaudhri Aslam. And, last but not the least, please request Government of Sindh to name the place where he was slain as Chaudri Aslam interchange at Esa-Nagri of Lyari by-pass.
