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.

“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.
