In Pakistan, the conflict between the Imran Khan government and the Sindh provincial government has escalated. The provincial police do not follow the instructions of the central government.
This incident has put further pressure on the Imran administration in the anti-government movement.
Dawn said Nawaz Sharif’s son-in-law and head of the Pakistan Muslim League, Mohammad Safdar, was arrested on Monday. Sindh police did not want to arrest him.
Members of the Pak Rangers paramilitaries detained Sindh Police Chief Mushtaq Mahar and persuaded him to arrest him.
Islamabad-Karachi came face to face with this. The chief of the army, Kamar Javed Bajwa, has ordered the police chief to carry out a swift investigation into the “kidnapping”.
Sindh police officers, including IG Mushtaq Mehr, began preparations to go on vacation to protest the incident.
The PML-N and six other opposition alliances have called for nationwide protests demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Imran Khan and accusations of military interference in Pakistani politics.
Muhammad Safdar was one of the leaders who protested. There are rumors that Safdar was kidnapped to press for his arrest.
News of the shooting has even appeared in an international media outlet, citing an army and police source.
It has been claimed that 10 policemen were killed in the incident. However, the administration did not say anything about it.
Pressure was mounting on the police to act. PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz, wife of Muhammad Safdar and daughter of Nawaz Sharif, held a press conference on Monday.
He said the police chief’s phone was seized. He was taken to the Sector Commander’s office. He was forced to sign an arrest warrant.
The chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, has publicly called on the army and intelligence chiefs to investigate the matter.
He complained that the incident had crossed the red line. Meanwhile, large numbers of police officers from Sindh province went on strike on Tuesday in protest at the kidnapping of police officer Meher.
On Wednesday, Sindh’s Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said: “The state police are going through a very difficult time. Right now, the state government is on the side of the Sindh police.
Assuring senior police officials on Wednesday, he said: “The government will not allow this force to have tragic consequences under any circumstances. Currently, the police are making great sacrifices to establish peace.
