Differences have erupted between the Police Services of Pakistan (PSP) and the Provincial Police Services (PPS) after the Sindh government moved a summary for the promotion of two PPS cadre officers to grade-20, a post of a Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police. About 35 PSP officers wrote a letter to the federal government and said that the promotions were out-of-turn, sources said. Sources said that the Sindh government had moved a summary of the federal government for the promotion of PPS cadre officers, SSP Mohammed Malik and SSP Dost Ali Baloch, for promotion to BPS-20, the rank of a DIG. SSP Malik was a recruit of the Income Tax Department while SSP Dost Ali Baloch was a recruit of the Intelligence Bureau. Both were inducted in the Sindh Police a few years ago. They took out-of-turn promotions, sources said, adding that SSP Malik recently managed to stop his transfer orders three times from the Driving Licence Branch. Former PPO Sindh Mohammed Shoaib Suddle had constituted an inquiry committee to stop out-of-turn promotions and directed the committee members to check if the grounds for the promotions were sound, and then revert the officers if necessary. Soon after Suddle’s transfer, however, the committee stopped its inquiry, sources said. They maintained that PSP Officers were aware of the upcoming “out-of-turn promotion” of SSP Malik and SSP Baloch for a few days. They started conducting meetings and finally decided to move an application to the Interior Ministry, Home Minister, Chief Minister, and Civil Services Tribunal for justice. Some senior PSP Officers told The News on conditions of anonymity that these officers who were recommended for BPS-20 were junior to them and had not even appeared for any courses which were compulsory for promotion. The PSP officers said that if the two SSPs were promoted, they would not work under them. They also demanded that if they absolutely had to be promoted, the government should “kindly transfer them to other provinces.” Some other officers recommended for promotion to BPS-20 are SSP Deen Mohammed Baloch, Mushtaq Mehar, Sanaullah Abbasi, Noor Ahmed Pascho, A.D. Khwaja, Abdul Aleem Jaffery, Sardar Abdul Majeed Dasti and others. Sources said that they were promoted to the rank of a DIG. |
