KARACHI: Sindh Assembly Opposition Leader Haleem Adil Sheikh on Monday called on the federal government to form a joint investigative team to further investigate Dr Rizwan’s report for the arrest of drug traffickers drugs operating in Karachi and to expose the influential people who patronize the illicit narcotics trade in the metropolis.
He was talking to reporters in the Municipal Court building where he appeared in court in connection with a defamation case brought by provincial minister Saeed Ghani against the opposition leader and a private television station.

The PPP Sindh government removed Saeed Ghani’s name from Dr Rizwan’s report, but a video statement from Hamidullah was still present in which he could be seen saying who he had worked for, he argued.
The Anti-Narcotics Force should take action on Dr. Rizwan’s report while the federal government should form a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) made up of agents from various federal investigative agencies to investigate Dr. Rizwan’s report and check the facts and determine if Ghani is true or Dr. Rizwan’s report was correct, demanded Haleem.

Referring to the Shaheed Nazim Jokhio murder case, the opposition leader alleged that the case was incapacitated by the prosecution and prosecutors were supporting the accused as a mere challan was presented in which all defendants received a clear note.
“A report by Investigator Siraj Lashari was shelved because the Sindh government wanted the faulty former interim challan to be considered the last, but the PTI would resist a decision to bring justice to Shereen Jokhio, widow of the late Nazim Jokhio,” he swore. .
