DG rangers Sindh had rangers pick up and detain the IG police and force him to take action against Capt Sufdar.
Many senior police officers in Sindh have since handed in their resignations.
This country is turning into a joke completely
Reputation of army under Bajwa is getting shattered. Whatever goodwill that army gained after Raheel Sharif tenure is getting destroyed
Shameful situation. A complete disgrace
I say again. I have serious concerns with whatever they are teaching at PMA so that we are getting such kind of leadership in return
While I agree a cannon has been used to kill a fly in this case, but Rangers have policing authority and a legal role of law enforcement specifically in Karachi - you know due to the awesome performance of Sindh Govt. and Police in holding peace in the last decade that saw tens of thousands die due to extortion, gang war-fare, terrorism by ppp/mqm etc.Let us assume that Capt. Safdar is guilty of violating Quaid’s tomb, it is the job of the police to arrest him. If the police failed to do so then a petition could have been filed in the High Court to order Karachi Police to arrest the culprit?
But undermining the local police by the Rangers in Karachi is a very serious breach of protocol. This episode has given a bona fide reason to PPP and the Sindh gov’t to scream that the Centre is undermining the provincial autonomy.
Whosoever ordered it was ill-advised as it indirectly implicates the Army and reaffirms the perception that Imran Khan is nothing but a puppet of the establishment.
Performance of IK is much better but the trash left of so many years of the khotokhors cannot be clean in 2 years.If performance of Niazi government is up to the mark. These problems will not come to surface at first place. Oh bhai woh aata, cheeni, eggs ki prices control nahi kr skta.. Establishment kia kary aun ki badnami ho rahi ha, Niazi ki waja se.. Please try to understand the root cause of all these issues and relax coz we need you brother.
With due respect to the PTI apologists, pressurizing the Police Chief of a province by another branch of security services is a very serious matter. Rangers are an internal security force with the prime objective to provide and maintain security in war zones and areas of conflict as well as providing assistance to the police when asked for by the provincial government. The rangers are not supposed to act independently of the police but to 'Assist' them.
But pressuring police chief by CM to not file a legal FIR against convict Captain Safdar is not a very serious matter? Had police filed the FIR without taking dictation from the CM, none of the unfortunate events should have happened.With due respect to the PTI apologists, pressurizing the Police Chief of a province by another branch of security services is a very serious matter.
Only law and order is when someone desecrates tomb of nation's founder and police refuse to arrest him just because he is chief guest of CMIn my humble opinion, anyone who justifies abducting the IG Police and forcing him to arrest someone, regardless of the severity of the crime, has little regard for the law & order.
Captain Safdar's actions were not inappropriate but illegal. He wasn't arrested according to the law because CM was personally protecting him as chief guest. Army rangers removed that protection by force, hence this melodrama by the resistance.While correctly describing Capt Safdar’s actions at the Quaid’s mausoleum as “inappropriate”, Mr Shah said the police acted “in accordance with the law”, but he neither refuted Mr Zubair’s version nor alluded to it.
Refusal to file FIR against Captain Safdar for a documented crime just because he is a political guest of CM is not hallmark of despotic regimes?Mr Bhutto-Zardari’s press conference appeared to confirm that thuggish tactics that are the hallmark of despotic regimes were indeed resorted to.
This is not a fact yet as investigations haven't concluded that as a fact. Dawn is deliberately making a case for oppositions narrative. Dishonest.How else can one interpret the fact that the house of the province’s top cop was laid siege to at 2am, a few hours before Capt Safdar’s arrest?
Should armed forces now give their resignations on mass since their COAS was ridiculed by convicted criminal bhagora Nawaz Sharif?Several senior policemen in Sindh applied for leave on the grounds that their high command had been “ridiculed” in the matter and the entire force left “demoralised and shocked”.
So now resignations are deferred because it was just a political stunt by Sindh police to pressure army?Although the officers later sought a deferment of their leave, Sindh’s main law-enforcement agencies are in an ugly face-off, with things moving in an alarming direction.
