Opposition sees stars in day, aircraft in night: Fawad Ch
What is point of holding general elections if premier cant even suspend an IG, stated Fawad.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Ch on Tuesday has taunted that opposition sees stars in morning and aircraft in night.
While defending transfer of Islamabad Inspector General of Police (IG), the minister stated it is unacceptable for the incumbent govt that bureaucracy runs state-affairs.
He made these remarks following reinstatement of Jan Mohammad as Islamabad IG in the light of Supreme Court of Pakistan’s (SC) verdict.
“Shehryar Khan Afridi [interior minister] had also lodged complain against Islamabad IG Jan Mohammad to the premier that IGP had failed to take action against the widespread use of drugs in the capital’s schools and varsities. Not IG, Prime Minister (PM) is the chief executive of the Pakistan”, Fawad was quoted as saying.
“What is point of holding general elections if premier can’t even suspend an IG”, stated the minister while adding, “There will be no democracy in the country if IGs, DSPs and SPs don’t pay heed to the orders of PM and ministers”.
Fawad made it overtly clear that PM and ministers will exercise their powers bestowed on them by the Constitution. Fawad regretted that a narrative was being promulgated that bureaucrats would become heroes if they disobeyed govt’s order.
Confessing existence of issues, Fawad added that the powerful bureaucracy is not implementing govt’s orders.
Taking exception to the transfer of capital city police chief, the apex court suspended transfer of Islamabad IG.
“Is this the Naya [new] Pakistan you people are building”, remarked Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar.
