Following the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) leader Captain (R) Safdar’s arrest on Monday morning, Pakistan Peoples Party leader Saeed Ghani said that the arrest was not carried out on the instructions of the Sindh government.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Pakistan Peoples Party leader and Education Minister of Sindh Saeed Ghani said the arrest was not carried out on the instructions of the Sindh government.

He alleged that this was being done to ‘create a rift among Pakistan Democratic Movement’.

مزار قائد پر کیپٹن صفدر نے جو کچھ کیا وہ نامناسب تھا لیکن جس انداز میں کراچی پولیس نے گرفتاری کی ہے وہ قابل مذمت ہے۔کیپٹن صفدر کی گرفتاری سندھ حکومت کی ہدایات پر نہیں ہوئی ۔ پولیس کا یہ اقدام PDM کی جماعتوں میں خلیج پیدا کرنے کی سازش کا حصہ ہے جسے ہم ناکام بنائیں گے۔ https://t.co/jfaIBH10Eq
