KARACHI: A day after the top brass of Sindh police decided to go on long leave in protest over the events surrounding the arrest and subsequent bail of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Captain (r) Safdar Awan in Karachi, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Wednesday reiterated full support to the force. The directive came when Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari requested General Bajwa to order an institutional probe into the incident. “Sindh Police has given huge sacrifices to establish peace in the province […] I am well aware of their services, sacrifices and professional skills,” he said, adding, “Sindh government is with its police in their difficult time. “Sindh Police [officials] paid with their lives to establish peace in the province, particularly in Karachi. “Sindh Police should continue working independently and objectively.”He added that the government was taking steps to make the police force more stable.
