LARKANA: Senior Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) leader Ghulam Murtaza Jatoi on Tuesday said that

police, instead of maintaining law and order, were fully focusing on suppressing political figures and registering false cases against them.

Speaking to the media, he said: “The police are supposed to improve law and order and control crime, but they are more concerned with creating fake cases and staged encounters. That’s why the law and order situation is what it is today”.

He said that the first priority of any government should be the safety of people’s lives and property, in which the current PPP government had completely failed. “All institutions in Sindh have collapsed. The system is so broken that even if a good government comes in, it would take 10 years to fix it.”

Jatoi visited Dokri to attend the hearing of a case against him in the civil court. The case has been registered at the Badah police station.

Later, he called on GDAs Secretary General Dr Safdar Abbasi at his residence in Waleed. He also visited Advocate Irfan Jatoi, the President of Sindh Abadgar Board, Larkana district, at his residence in Professor Colony.

During both meetings, views were exchanged on the current political situation in Sindh, besides the various cases registered against him in different cities of Sindh.

He told local journalists that the Dokri case would be shifted to the Larkana sessions court on Wednesday (July 16). He expressed his confidence that it will prove false. “It has taken time, and it will take more, but the truth will prevail in the end,” he said.

Commenting on PTI, he said, “There is no clear news about the PTI founder. We hear that sometimes PTI is in talks with the establishment, and other times they deny it. We also hear that the founder’s sons are coming to Pakistan, after which PTI is planning to launch a movement. I believe that in the next three months, either a movement will start or the 27th Amendment will come”.

“Some form of political change is expected in these three months, which are critical for a change in the system,” he said.
