Karachi:
Former Judge Ahmed Ali Gabol has filed a constitutional petition seeking the removal of SINDH Governor Kamran Khan Tessori from Embedet. The petitioner requested immediate dismissal of governor Tessori and argued that he has violated the constitutional oath of impartiality.
According to the petition, the governor has promoted politics on an ethnic basis, and while sitting with MQM management, has talked about ethnic and provincial departments. It further stated that the governor gave speeches at the Governor House and other venues where he allegedly suggested to separate Karachi from Sindh.
The petition claims that Governor Tessori tried to encourage linguistic hatred by invoking the urdu-speaking community. Such behavior, it claims, violates articles 4, 2, 25 and 32 of the Constitution of Pakistan, which guarantees equality and provincial harmony. The petitioner also cited the Supreme Court’s decisions that prevent the use of state offices for political agendas.

The petition asks that in accordance with Article 101 (2). 3, the president of Pakistan must remove governor Tessori from Embed. It maintains that the governor is a non-political speech, but Tessori has used both its position and the Governor House for the interests of a specific political party.
The petition requires that the Office of Sindh Governor be maintained as a symbol of federal unity and provincial harmony. The Secretary of Law and Justice, Secretary Department and Head Secretary of Sindh Governor has been made the respondents in the case.
