Mushtaq Mahar to replace Kaleem Imam as new Sindh IGP

Sindh Governor Imran Ismail called on Prime Minister Imran Khan in Islamabad on Friday. Matters pertaining to the transfer of IG Sindh, development projects, current political situation and other issues were discussed in the meeting.

Both the leaders agreed to replace Sindh Inspector General of Police Dr Kaleem Imam with Mushtaq Mahar. Sources said that a notification in this regard is likely to be issued soon.

The IGP transfer matter had been a bone of contention between the PTI-led federal government and the PPP’s Sindh government for weeks.

However, Governor House sources denied the consensus over Mushtaq Mahar’s name.  

Ismail briefed PM Khan about the details of his recent talks with the leadership of Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) in Islamabad. They agreed to accelerate efforts to woo MQM-P.
