Advisor to Sindh chief minister (CM) on Information Barrister Murtaza Wahab negated reports that the Sindh governor had been removed from the apex committee. Speaking to media after the apex committee meeting, the provincial advisor said that the notion that the governor had been removed from the committee was wrong. “The governor is not a member of the apex committee and used to be called as an honorary member,” he added. The 23rd session of the apex committee was held at the CM House on Monday. The session was attended by the chief secretary, Karachi corps commander, Rangers director general, Sindh inspector general (IG) and other officials. Sindh Governor Imran Ismail remained absent from the session. In the past, Sindh CM and governor used to co-chair the apex committee meetings. Before this, reports had surfaced that the Sindh governor had been removed from the apex committee. Sindh governor said that he had received no notifications. “If I have been removed from the apex committee then that is not a good thing,” he had said. Published in Daily Times, December 11th 2018.
