sector to work for<br />

Talking about<br />

Naqeebullah who was<br />

killed in alleged police<br />

encounter he said all the<br />

parties are condemning this<br />

incident now. No one will<br />

support wrong doing. All<br />

will condemn it. An impartial<br />

probe should be held<br />

into this incident. This is not<br />

the first incident of its<br />

nature. Who gave license of<br />

it. Action should be taken<br />

not only against Rao Anwar<br />

but also against chief minister<br />

and home minister<br />

Sindh.<br />

The resignation from<br />

chief minister and home<br />

minister should be demanded,<br />

he said. The apathy and<br />

silence of Sindh government<br />

on this matter is in<br />

fact its support to this incident.<br />

The entire burden<br />

should not be shifted to one<br />

police officer as this way<br />

the issue will not be<br />

resolved. If you remove<br />

one the second will replace<br />

him and he will be assigned<br />

task. The real thing is this<br />

who is assigning this task,<br />

he questioned. Therefore<br />

Sindh government should<br />

be held accountable. The<br />

courts should take suo<br />

motu notice on this matter,<br />

he demanded.<br />

people had been killed<br />

also taint the Sindh government.<br />

The PTI leader said if the<br />

Sindh government wanted<br />

to save itself from the allegations<br />

of patronizing fake<br />

cases should be lodged<br />

against Rao Anwar and his<br />

team to dole out justice to<br />

the affected families.<br />
