IG Sindh Javed Odho has been awarded the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, triggering strong criticism and controversy across political circles.
Critics point to his tenure in Sindh, where he carried out severe crackdowns on PTI workers and political activists in the province. Under his supervision, illegal and underground operations were allowed protection, with accusations that such networks indirectly benefited Bilawal Zardari.
Instead of accountability for these actions, he has now been rewarded with one of the country’s highest civilian honours, raising serious questions about merit, governance, and state priorities.
