Though the situation in other districts of the province is not satisfactory, no effort is being spared to curb crime, he added.He said the operation against dacoits involved in the killing of police officials in the last few months still continued and the main accused in the killing of a senior police officer in Sukkur had been arrested from Karachi.Replying to a question, he said the practice of lodging cases against journalists under the Anti-Terrorism Act and kidnapping for ransom was wrong and in this regard he had directed the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Investigation to withdraw such cases.He assured that in futureno journalist would be implicated in false cases including those tried under the Anti-Terrorism Act. Replying to a question, Kaleem said the Sindh police performance was far better compared to the past, as all postings were being made purely on merit.Kaleem clarified that he faced no pressure from the provincial government on transfer and posting rather he had full support of the government and chief minister in this regard.
