KARACHI: Answers to serious and complicated constitutional, legal and political questions are being sought to install an
acting governor in the wake of 10-day long absence of Sindh
governor Imran Ismail who
will be away to perform Haj. The Sindh
governor House has reportedly contacted the federal government to ascertain as to who should
become the
acting governor of Sindh.In accordance with the constitution, Speaker of Sindh Assembly Agha Siraj Khan Durrani
will become the
acting governor during Sindh governor' absence. But that would be a major embarrassment as the
governor House
will have to be declared a sub-jail as he is under arrest in connection with the probe being conducted against him by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). It
will be very first time in the history of the province that Sindh
governor House
will be declared a sub-jail.It is reported that federal government wants that Deputy Speaker of Sindh Assembly Rehana Laghari should
become acting governor of the province during the interim period. The consultations between the Sindh
governor House and federal government is taking place for a decision. The federal government reportedly wants to avoid the situation in which the incumbent Speaker of Sindh Assembly, who faces probe and cases initiated by the NAB,
become acting governor of the province.
