PM HOLDS A MEETING WITH TOP OFFICIALS
Islamabad, Sept, 25, 1996: Soon after arrival in Islamabad from Karachi,
where she mourned the murder of Mir Murtaza Bhutto, Prime Minister
Benazir Bhutto held her first formal session with top federal and
provincial officials on Tuesday night to take stock of the whole situation.
Presence of Sindh Chief Minster Syed Abdullah Shah , NWFP Chief
Minister Aftab Sherpao, Interior Minister Naseerullah Babar, Syed Qaim
Ali Shah Pervaiz Ali Shah, IGP Sindh , DIG Karachi Shoaib Suddle and
other senior persons was officially confirmed. An unconfirmed report said
that Begum Nusrat Bhutto was also present in the meeting. "The prime
minister held exhaustive discussion on the entire sequence of recent
developments. She was also briefed on the progress of the inquiry
commission, constituted to ascertain the causes that led to the death of
Murtaza Bhutto," an official source said. The Sindh chief minister and the
police chief presented their initial investigation reports in the meeting while
the resume prepared by the Intelligence Bureau was also discussed. While
the meeting was continuing, the capital buzzed with rumors that top level
changes in Sindh had been ordered but officials were not ready to confirm
that immediately.
What was partly confirmed was that some changes at the administrative level
were expected in the next few days. Another report said that top officials of
the Sindh administration had offered to resign in case the inquiry
commission found them guilty in connection with the death of Murtaza
Bhutto.
