KARACHI: Calling the Sindh governor `a fugitive who`s wanted in the UAE for fraud`, former federal minister and Sindh chapter president of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Ali Zaidi asked Kamran Tessori on Monday to stay non-partisan respecting his office and `appealed` to the Chief Justice ofPakistan to order probe into serious allegations against him.

Addressing a press conference at the party office, Mr Zaidi reacted to a question that referred to the recent comment of the Sindh governor against PTI chairman Imran Khan and said it was his constitutional responsibility to `show some grace` and `stay nonpartisan`.`Let me remind the Sindh governor about his past. His arrest warrants were issued by the Dubai authorities in 2006 for a fraud.

`And I have a copy of the Interpol notice of March 2010 against him. I appeal to the chief justice of Pakistan to probe into these criminal charges,` said the PTI leader.

Mr Zaidi then referredto the alleged recovery of drugs from the vehicle of Pakistan Muslim League -Nawaz leader and Interior Minister RanaSanaullah when the PTI was in power.

`But today, he is our interior minister. I wonder why all these JITreports prepared by the law enforcement, intelligence and security agencies are not acted upon, he added.
