F.P. Report
ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan, Mian Saqib Nisar on Monday has taken suo moto notice of the abrupt transfer of Inspector General Police Islamabad, Lt (Retd.) Jan Muhammad.
According to details, Top judge has summoned the attorney general and secretary defense to clarify their position regarding the transfer.
CJP remarked that secretary defense should appear before the court and explain as to why the top cop was transferred. The political interference in police would not be tolerated, wondering whether the policeman was transferred on an issue regarding the son of a minister, he remarked.
Top judge clarified that rule of law would be established in the country and the institutions would not be weakened.
Earlier on Sunday, it was reported on mainstream media that the IGP Islamabad Jan Muhammad was transferred allegedly for refusing to attend the call of federal minister for science and technology, Azam Sawati.
However, the Interior ministry said Sawati had nothing to do with the transfer of IGP rather the summary of his removal was on PM’s table for a couple of weeks.
It is worth mentioning here that earlier IG Punjab police Tahir Khan was also removed from his post despite serving for merely five weeks.
