Rao Anwar was suspended on the orders of Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on September 16 after he arrested Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) lawmaker Khawaja Izharul Hassan.

Anwar claimed that the courts have issued warrants against MQM MPA several times in the past.

He has termed his suspension ‘unlawful’ and requested the court to issue directives regarding his reinstatement on the post.
