KARACHI: The continuous insistence of Sindh government to appoint Sardar Abdul Majeed Dasti as the new Sindh Inspector General (IG) in place of incumbent A.D. Khuwaja seems to be the case of “favouritism” and seems to be “a political appointment”, civil society organisations complained on Monday.
A letter sent to the federal cabinet through their counsel, the organisations also denied the objections forwarded by the provincial government on the possible appointment of Mehr Khaliq Dad Lak who is also on the list of nominees to be appointed as the new chief of police in the province.
The Sindh government on Saturday had once again asked the federal government to appoint Dasti as the new Sindh IG to replace Khuwaja. Sindh’s lawmakers had proposed a panel of three grade-22 officers to the Establishment Division for the appointment, including, in order of seniority: Dasti, Retired Capt Arif Nawaz and Mehr Khaliq Dad Lak.
Sindh government had earlier objected that Lak has previously never been posted in Sindh, and therefore he lacks experience about the “dynamics of this province.”
