Sindh, federal govts lock horns over IG Sindh appointment

Sindh government IGP

KARACHI: Accusing the federal government of dragging its feet on appointment of a new police chief in the province, Sindh Information Minister Saeed Ghani said on Thursday the provincial government is in no mood to suggest another name for the slot of IG Sindh.

Speaking in ARY News’ Bakhabar Savera programme, he said the federal government did an about-turn over the issue as Prime Minister Imran Khan in a meeting with Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah had finalised the name for the coveted post.

Saeed Ghani lamented that the federal government didn’t want to replace the IG Sindh despite the fact that a consensus was reached on two names.

“The federal government has muddied the issue,” he said, adding IGs in other provinces were replaced without ado while the issue of appointment of IG Sindh was taken to the federal cabinet.

“We won’t consult Governor [Imran Ismail] over the issue as the provincial government had already fulfilled legal requirements,” the minister declared. “The Sindh government is in no mood to suggest a new name.”

Young girl’s tragic story makes her symbol of Yemen war

Buthaina Mansur al-Rimi’s life has changed drastically since last year — orphaned in Sanaa, the little girl controversially ended up in Saudi Arabia for medical care and has just returned to Yemen’s capital. Her entire immediate family was wiped out in an air strike by a Saudi-led coalition that backs Yemen’s government, using an explosive device Amnesty International says was made in the US. Images of Buthaina’s rescue and a picture of her swollen and bruised at a hospital trying to force open one of her eyes with her fingers were beamed worldwide. That international fame saw her become something of a propaganda pawn in the war between Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels and Saudi media. “I was in my mother’s room with my father, sisters, brother and uncle, the first missile hit, and my father went to get us sugar to get over the shock, but then the second missile hit, and then the third,” she says. “And then the house fell,” adds the little girl, who says she is eight.
