The information minister said that politics in Karachi was troublesome and that weaklings should stay away from it. He said that people had always been imposed as the representatives of Karachi, but the true representatives of Karachi were never allowed to represent their people.

Answering a question, Ghani said that on the issue of Inspector General of Police, Sindh the point of view of Sindh government was being endorsed as Syed Kaleem Imam was involved more in politics than in his profession. The minister said that five inspector generals of police had been replaced in Punjab and the same had happened in KP, but when it came to Sindh, people started censuring it without any logic.

He said that members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Sindh were politicizing the legitimate issue of the replacement of IG Sindh. Responding to another question, Ghani welcomed the court’s directives for making the reports of the Joint Investigation Teams public.
