The Sindh government has asked the federal government to constitute a judicial commission to probe FIA's actions in the province. The provincial government deemed the action of the FIA and the NAB in Sindh as a 'strode over move' of its limits and jurisdiction. In a statement issued here, on Saturday from the CM House said that Federal Minister for Interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had offered PPP chief Asif Ali Zardari that he was ready to constitute a judicial commission into the raids and seizures of the FIA in Sindh, if he {Zardari} desired so.
The spokesman for the Sindh government said, "Yes, the Sindh government would appreciate if Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, in order to keep the record straight, takes a bold initiative to constitute a judicial commission into the FIA's raids in Sindh," he said and added the FIA had taken away more than 15,000 files of the KMC.
The Sindh government was of the view that the FIA had no authority and jurisdiction to conduct raids in the offices of the provincial government. "The provincial government has its own mechanism to take action against corruption in its departments. The FIA under a self-proclaimed authority has taken over the role of anti-corruption in the limits of the provincial government which is unconstitutional, illegal and against the spirit of the 18th Amendment.
It may be recalled that Federal Minister for Interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan at a press conference had offered PPP chief, Asif Ali Zardari that he was ready to constitute a judicial commission if Zaradri and his party's government in Sindh felt that FIA had crossed its jurisdiction. The Sindh government accepting his offer has requested the federal minister to constitute the judicial commission. 'The findings of the judicial commission would help remove misunderstandings developed on the issue of the FIA's and the NAB's jurisdiction or action in Sindh.
The spokesman said, 'this is a very good, pragmatic and bold offer on the part of federal minister. The statement of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on NAB is also an acceptance of Sindh government stance on NAB. The spokesman hoped that the federal minister would shortly constitute a judicial commission to end the row between the provincial and federal government on the issue of FIA limits.
