Sindh Minister for Home and Co-ordination Mohammad Abdul Rauf Siddiqui called upon police officer of Larkana and Shikarpur districts on Thursday to realise their responsibilities, be vigilant against the activities of criminals in their areas to ensure honour of people and safeguard their properties and lives which was their legal and moral obligation.
The minister also asked police officers to behave politely with people, transform police stations into peace centres for the public and provide Justice to the people without any discrimination.
He said this while presiding over a meeting of police officers of Larkana and Shikarpur districts at Circuit House, here.
The Minister said it was their legal duty to control crime and make all out efforts to create a peaceful atmosphere. Slackness in this regard would not be tolerated at any cost, the Minister said.
"There is a provision of Jaza and Saza." Those who will perform their duty according to the wishes of the people will be rewarded and the appropriate action will be taken against the lazy and dishonest officials and unwilling workers, the minister warned.
Rauf further said the police officers should know everything, which happened in their areas and the network of officers should be extended so that criminals' activities may be nipped in the bud.
He said all possible facilities will be provided to the police force in their performance of official duties. No doubt that law-enforcing agencies have destroyed the shelters of dacoits in Shah Belo forest and as many as two dacoits were killed and so many injured. Now by the grace of Allah Almighty, in the province of Sindh in general the law and order situation is in control as compared to other countries of the world including Sweden, Spain besides African countries.
Mohammad Abdul Rauf Siddiqui while talking to local journalists said all out efforts had been made for the safe recovery of allegedly kidnapped businessman Santosh Kumar and he hoped Inshallah the kidnapee will be returned in a short time.
He said the former DPO was given the task for recovery of Santosh Kumar but he was not able to show the results in time. The main and co-accused were however, arrested.
He further said in our country the rights of minority were safeguarded under the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan and to safe-guard the properties of lives of minority communities is the legal and moral duty of our police force.
He further said, he has ordered for re-medical check-up of Saima Abro of Sukkur so that justice may be provided to everyone which was their legal right.
