ISLAMABAD: While Karachi is bleeding, dozens are killed on a daily basis, the Sindh Police has become a silent spectator mainly because of its politicisation which has been denounced by the Supreme Court. The Establishment Division is busy considering the induction of more political loyalists from Sindh police in the Police Service of Pakistan.
The deteriorating law and order situation in Sindh, particularly in Karachi, is mainly because loyalists have been inducted in the police, have been given back-dated seniority and are now working as Superintendents of Police (SPs). The Establishment Division is being pushed for their regular encadrement in the PSP.
The Supreme Court on Monday announced its judgement in politicisation of bureaucracy case filed by Anita Turab, a mid-career bureaucrat, and directed the government not to politicise the civil service.
While on the other hand 70-plus political loyalists will soon be encadred in the PSP including close relatives of politicians who failed the entry test and National Police Academy exam while their direct recruitment as Deputy superintendent of Police in the 90s during second tenure of PPP government could not materialise.
The Establishment Division also held a meeting on the 17th of last month to induct these politically backed SPs with back-dated seniority in the PSP but because of the incomplete record the division could not induct them.
In 1997 ex-Inspector General Sindh Syed Mohib Asad had documented the entire story of 45 officers hired, clearly mentioning how ex-chief minister hijacked the appointment process and papers were checked at the CM House and almost all but one among 45 Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) inducted in 1995 failed the mandatory National Police Act test. These SPs, being considered for induction in PSP, were directly appointed as DSPs during the Pakistan People’s Party’s governments in 1990 and 1995 because of their political affiliation.
Secretary Establishment, Taimoor Azmat Usman, says that encadrement is a routine process and these officers from Sindh will be recruited soon in the PSP. When asked about their initial appointments and political affiliations, the Secretary said that it was not the mandate of the division to look into such affairs as these are solely provincial matters.
Sindh police has been badly politicised, including 44 Superintendents of Police (SPs) who could not pass the basic entry test or the Police Academy exam, but were appointed as DSPs in 1995, reveal documents with The News. There were 45 DSPs directly inducted in 1995 and only one, Qamar Raza Jiskani, was able to pass the academy exam. The said 44 SPs were promoted to the next rank by the PPP government in February 2010 and given back-dated seniority from 2002.
