Karachi

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has taken notice of the protesting personnel of the Sindh Reserve Police, who have been dismissed from the department. 

According to a press statement issued on Wednesday, the PPP chairman asked the Sindh government to sort out their issue as per guidelines of the Supreme Court judgment on a case-to-case basis.

Those who violated the rules and regulations and made illegal recruitment should be taken to the task, but the poor recruits who fulfilled the criteria of merit and underwent rigorous physical training must not be victimised, he said.

“[The] PPP have never supported any practice of snatching livelihoods and its leadership, including former prime minister Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, was dragged from court to court by dictatorial regimes and their descendants for providing jobs to the deserving ones on merit,” he added.

Bilawal also asked the Sindh government to form a ministerial committee to take up the issue for restoration on a case-to-case basis, saying that the PPP shall never be ready for taking the onus of depriving anybody from jobs appointed on merit and as per all the and formalities.
