When Dr. Shoaib Suddle was made Inspector General of Police, Sindh; he immediately stole the media limelight because of his role in the previous regimes of Pakistan People's Party in establishing peace in the city of Karachi by force. The coalition of PPP with the MQM suffered with this posting but at that time PPP stuck with its stand and kept Shoaib Suddle in place, but now due to the immense pressure from the MQM, they have transfered Shoaib Suddle.
In order to keep Shoaib Suddle in service, PPP government went out of the way and gave him extension of two years and three months in his service, but then the juncture came when PPP had to make a choice between keeping Shoaib Suddle as IGP Sindh or keeping their coalition intact with MQM. PPP selected the easy way and preferred rule over the principles.
Muhammad Shoaib Suddle, was transferred by the Establishment Division, Islamabad, with immediate effect and posted as the Intelligence Bureau director general. During his tenure, Shoaib Suddle was able to reduce the ratio of street crimes in the Karachi, and that was very alarming for the MQM who primarily depends upon street crimes for its funding. It was also hampering the lavish lifestyle of MQM leadership in exile in London, and it was like cutting off the lifeline of MQM day to day operations.
Establishment also want to keep MQM with PPP, and Zardari bowed in front of immense pressure and that is why Karachiites have been once again left to the mercy of street criminals.
