During the meeting, IGP Imam briefed PM Imran regarding the law and order situation in the province. Though the prime minister initially agreed to change the Sindh IG, the federal cabinet next day decided against appointing Mushtaq Mahar as the Sindh police chief and sought more names from the provincial government. ‘SINDH WON’T GIVE NEW NAMES’:Meanwhile, Sindh Local Government Minister Saeed Ghani said that the provincial government will neither meet governor nor recommend any new name for the appointment of Sindh IG. He maintained that Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah had also told PM Imran Khan of the reasons for his government’s move to remove Dr Kaleem Imam. Saeed Ghani said the IGs of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are changed in thirty minutes, whereas it takes 30 days for the same procedure in Sindh.
