KARACHI, OCT 28 (DNA) – Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah is to chair a cabinet meeting on Saturday to discuss the replacement of incumbent Inspector General Police (IGP) A.D. Khawaja, besides implementation of 18^th Amendment of the Constitution.

According to sources, the cabinet is likely to discuss the replacement of current IGP with grade-22 Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) Abdul Dasti.

Earlier this month, Dasti – who is currently serving as the additional research and development inspector-general (IG) under command of A.D. Khawaja – was promoted to grade-22 by the federal government, turning the incumbent IGP junior to him.

The move was deemed as another bid to replace the current police chief.

The Pakistan Peoples’ Party-led government of Sindh has been in months-long tussle with Khawaja over the post.

The provincial cabinet had also given its nod for removal of the police chief in April but the decision then was reverted after a judicial intervention on the matter.
