SHC Orders Sindh Govt To Enact New Police Rules Within Six Weeks


Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday ordered the Sindh government to enact new police rules within six weeks, as reported in media.
The SHC was hearing contempt proceedings against former chief secretary of the province, Rizwan Memon, Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, inspector general Sindh police and other relevant officers. The petition was filed by Karamat Ali.
In October, 2017, the SHC had given a verdict after the petitioner challenged the government’s move to repeal Sindh Police Order, 2002 and its illegal action in transferring then IGP A D Khawaja. Court ordered for reforms in posting, transfer and tenure in police department. In the contempt of court petition against Sindh Chief Minister, petitioner contended that SHC had issued detailed directives to provincial government and federal government in the order for enactment of statutory rules for transfer and postings in police department at all levels.
During the hearing today, Advocate General Sindh Salman Talibuddin told the court that the provincial government had formed standing committee to form new police rules.
He said: “We are trying to introduce reforms in the police, hence six weeks be given for the same.”
Prosecution lawyer Faisal Siddiqui said proposed new police rules had been sent to the Sindh government three times for approval. He added that the government wasn’t implementing court orders for one and a half years.
He argued that it was the incompetence of a provincial government that it couldn’t reform police in the need of the hour.
The lawyer said bringing in reforms in the Sindh police wasn’t a responsibility of Sindh Rangers.

Sense of humor has an important place in every culture and society. Humorists have always been regarded with high attributes, we find many examples like Akbar and Beerbal, Santa and Banta, Mullah Naseerudin, when we come to Sindh, we find one such name and that is of Watayo Faqeer or Watayo the dervish.  It is wildly believed by Sindhi historians that Watayo lived for 75 years and is burried at Tando Allahyar.  Here are few selected tales of Watayo Faqeer: (1) Distribution according to God or Man: It is said that once there was a fest in the native village of Watayo, the elders decided to ask Watayo to take charge of meal and distribute among the guests, so one of the elders came to Watayo and said: "O!

The Un-caged Virgin of Africa: Free Verses

Image
  Once upon a time in the exotic lands of Africa, That gave birth to earliest human civilizations, A land of resilience and vast traditions A wonderland by nature, with beauty that resembled magic, Full of charms and spells; Lived a ‘Caged Virgin’, well-known for her beauty and boldness. Slowly and gradually she became a symbol of resistance. Loved and revered by those who believed in humanism; She became the voice of African women. Bringing forward the evil practices like female gentile mutilation; Everyone listened to her carefully; And hailed her for breaking the evil cage of dogma. For best ideals she put her life in danger; As she started calling her ‘infidel’; Her own people wanted to kill her. But the humanists came to rescue her, They took her to lands where free speech was not a sin, Where people where ready to listen to anything and everything; Our beautiful and charming ‘Caged Virgin’ was now ‘un-caged’; and not the virgin anymore. S...
