(Karachi) The tussle between Sindh and federal government over the appointment of police chief is finally over after the cabinet approved appointing Mushtaq Meher as the provincial IG, media reported on Friday.

A summary to appoint Meher was approved through circulation. The Sindh government had sent four names of Grade 21 and 22 officers for the top post that included Mushtaq Meher and Ghulam Qadir Thebo.

Earlier, Special Assistant to Prime Minister Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said that the appointment of Mushtaq Mehar as Sindh IGP has been deferred.

She said the PM had directed Sindh Governor Imran Ismail to form a consensus with Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on the new IG's appointment. Awan said that the governor and chief minister will deliberate not only on the same names but on new ones as well to replace Imam.

She said that the names of the candidates will then be put forward before the cabinet for approval.

On January 15, the Sindh government surrendered the responsibilities of the Provincial Police Chief Kaleem Imam to the federal government.

PPP leader Saeed Ghani said that IG Kaleem Imam was involved in creating rifts between the provincial government and the police department. He said from day one, Imam was not cooperating and taking orders from the Sindh CM.

Ghani said the law and order situation in Karachi was deteriorating and people have started pointing fingers on the performance of the police force. He said since the time IG Kaleem Imam took charge of the office, a drastic increase in street crime was witnessed.

He stated there was a lack of coordination and trust between the police and Sindh government.
