KARACHI: Federal Minister for Ports and Shipping Ali Zaidi claimed that the findings of investigations into high-profile cases involved names of political leaders, members of parliament and senior police officers, but still they had not been made public.
Filing a contempt of court petition in the Sindh High Court for not making Joint Investigation Team (JIT) reports of high-profile cases public, Ali Zaidi said the Pakistan Peoples Party’s government in Sindh was protecting criminals by misusing its powers and authority.
He said that the court had directed the Sindh authorities to make public JIT reports on Lyari gang war kingpin Uzair Baloch, Baldia factory fire tragedy and former Fishermen’s Cooperative Society chairman Nisar Morai in January this year, but the chief secretary of Sindh has not made these reports public so far.
This decision of the court order comes under contempt of court, therefore, ” I have filed a contempt of court petition requesting the court to proceed against the Sindh chief secretary. Everyone knows why the Sindh government is not making them public. These reports put direct blame on those leaders who are now part of the parliament and police officers, who are their blue-eyed boys and still getting promotions”, he claimed.
