Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) legislators on Tuesday submitted a resolution in the Sindh Provincial Assembly against issuing fake domiciles and Permanent Residence Certificates (PRCs).
The resolution stated that transparent jobs should be provided in Sindh according to the 1973 Constitution and Services Act to local people should be recruited for Grade 1-15 jobs in government sector. As per resolution action must be taken against all those officials and police officers who facilitated the illegal process; those who have committed criminal negligence that led to appointments on fake domiciles.
“The government needs to take strict action against the Sindh Public Service Commission too,” demanding 100% implementation of rural and urban quota in recruitment for job applications from grades 16 to 22. It was also demanded that a transparent inquiry ought to be conducted into past irregularities. A day Earlier, MQM-P said issuing fake domicile is an organized conspiracy which has the involvement of Sindh bureaucracy.
The deputy convener of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Pakistan Kunwar Naveed Jamil said an inadequate formation of committee against fake domiciles is not acceptable. He rejected the committee adding that the court would decide the fake domicile case soon.

Sindh Assembly legislator Khawaja Izharul Hasan said that under the constitution of Pakistan and the Services Act, jobs from 1 to 15 grade are the right of the residents of their districts asking that why the youth of Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpur Khas, Sukkur and Nawabshah not being appointed?
“Sindh government has contempt of court by forming a committee for the case of fake domiciles”, said Kunwar Naveed Jamil
Jamil stated that the notification for forming committee is a trick to influence the court proceedings which is illegal and unconstitutional adding that the members who have been nominated for the committee they have already denied the fake domicile in the court.
“The Chief Minister, the Chief Secretary and all the Deputy Commissioners are on the notice of the court”, adding that how can they form a committee if case is in court? he asked
Khawaja Izharul Hasan said that government jobs have been sold after the issuance of fake domicile certificates to non-residents.
“Corruption on fake domiciles is worth of billions”, he appealed NAB to obstruct and deal it as per law.
He also asked to take action against government officials involved in issuing fake domicile certificates and to cancel all such documents of people who are working in different government departments on their basis. On other hand Karachiites demand that the law must be passed in the Sindh Assembly that the first right for the government jobs is Sindh’s youth.
