Kaleem Imam to continue as Sindh IG until final decision, Sindh govt told

• The Sindh government suggested Dr Kamran Fazal, Ghulam Qadir Thebo and Mushtaq Ahmed Mahar as its additional IG.

The Sindh government was told on Saturday by the federal government that Kaleem Imam will continue as the Sindh inspector-general of police until the federal government makes a final decision.

In a letter, the federal government wrote to the provincial government that it was considering the request to remove Imam from the IGP's post. Imam will continue to serve as Sindh IG until a final decision is made because the role of IG cannot be given as an additional charge to any other officer, the Sindh government was informed.

Earlier this week, the provincial government wrote to the federal government seeking the removal of Imam, levelling serious charges relating to law and order against him. In the letter, the provincial government had also suggested new names for the post.
