IG Sindh in Pakistan has decided to put a protest leave application on hold for 10 days after assurance from Pakistan Army Chief that impartial inquiry will be done. Pak Army chief and coup conspirator Bajwa is in Catch 22 situation. If he acts against his own Army, he will face flak and will be overthrown by an internal coup. If no action is taken then Sindh Police and people will go off-limits.
Here is the full statement by Sindh Police:
The unfortunate incident that occurred on the night of 18/19 October caused great heartache and resentment within all ranks of Sindh Police.
As a result, IG Sindh decided to proceed on leave, and subsequently, all ranks decided that they would also apply for leave to protest the humiliation meted out to Sindh police. This was a spontaneous and heartfelt reaction and made on an individual rather than a collective basis,
because every single member of the department felt an acute sense of disrespect.
Sindh police are immensely grateful to the Army Chief for realizing the sense of hurt that prevailed within a uniformed force, and for promptly ordering an inquiry into the matter,
Which he has also assured will be impartial in order to restore the prestige of Sindh police. Sindh Police is also grateful to the chairman of the PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and the honorable CM Sindh for coming to the IG House and showing solidarity with the police leadership.
Sindh police have always been a disciplined force which believes in institutional harmony between all key national institutions and has always been cognizant of its responsibility to serve and protect the citizens of this province and thus, keeping this in mind,
IG Sindh has decided to defer his own leave and ordered his officers to set aside their leave applications for ten days in the larger national interest, pending the conclusion of the inquiry.
