Sindh govt recommends removal of IG Kaleem Imam

KARACHI (92 News) – The Sindh government recommended the removal of current Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kaleem Imam on Wednesday. According to the details garnered, the Sindh cabinet has given approval for the removal of current IG Kaleem Imam. The approval to remove the incumbent IGP came during an urgent meeting of the provincial cabinet, which was presided over by Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah. The cabinet members raised their reservations over the political affiliations of the current IG during the meeting. They said the PPP government deliberated on three names, including that of Mushtaq Mahar, Ghulam Qadir Thebo and Kamran Afzal, for the post. Some of the cabinet members raised objection on the name of Kamran Afzal. Most of the cabinet members have suggested the name of Ghulam Qadir Thebo. The name will be sent to the federal government and the appointment will be confirmed after the Centre gives its nod. In Sept 2018, Dr Syed Kaleem Imam was appointed as the inspector general of Sindh police (PSP, BS-21).
