HYDERABAD, April 20: The chairman of Sindh Coordination Council public safety commissions of nine districts, Masood Pervez, has opposed the federal government's decision to include parliamentarians in the commissions.
He said that the induction of an MNA and two MPAs in a DPSC would result into political interference in its working.
Mr Pervez, who is also chairman of the Hyderabad DPSC, was speaking to journalists in his office here on Monday. Answering a question, he said that the members of the Hyderabad commission might decide to resign in case the decision was not reversed.
He said that recently, a DPSC chairman had been disqualified for being a party activist. He said that the commissions could prove helpful for the people provided the Police Order 2002 was properly amended and added that he had sent recommendations about amendments to the Police Order.
He also opposed the power of a district police officer to reinvestigate into a matter recommended by a commission for action against police officials. He called for treating an investigation conducted by a DPSC as final.
Saying that the commissions still lacked powers, he added that the DPSCs were exercising powers under section 22 of Cr.PC. He agreed with the proposal of the district Nazim that a post of a deputy chairman of the National reconstruction Bureau should be created.
NAZIM BOOKED: Police on Monday night registered a kidnapping case against Latifabad Taluka Nazim Abdul Jabbar Khan and two others on the complaint of a woman, Zahida Parveen Kaimkhani.
The case was registered under the orders of the second additional district judge. The complainant, according to police, had stated she was going to visit a doctor on Febr 6 when three persons kidnapped her in the vicinity of Bhitai Hospital and kept her in illegal detention till Febr 20.
She said that the accused tried to obtain her signature on a paper in order to force her to withdraw from a murder case of her son, Faisal.
ENCROACHMENTS: The anti-encroachment staff of Latifabad Taluka Municipal Administration on Tuesday demolished encroachment constructed on what the taluka Nazim said an amenity plot.
A private bus service was being operated from the plot and the plying of the buses had led to a scuffle in the office of the Nazim on Febr 19 in which one person suffered bullet injuries. According to Mr Khan, it was an amenity plot but the occupant of the plot, Dr Ghani Siddiqui, had allowed the operator of a bus service to ply their buses from it.
He said that he had issued notices to Mr Siddiqui but the encroachment was not removed. He said that he had no dispute with the operators of the bus service and they could ply buses from anywhere in the city.
The Nazim said that fencing, a room and a washroom had been constructed on the plot which were demolished. The permission for the bus service was earlier suspended by the district coordination officer, Hyderabad.
