Leaders of Dioceses of Karachi, including Father Sarwar Eric and Father Shafique Kanwal have alleged that the Advocate General (AG) of Sindh, Salman Talibuddin, has been trying to influence the election of Bishop for ulterior motives.
Addressing a press conference at the Karachi Press Club, they said the land mafia in collusion of the Sindh government wanted to occupy property worth trillions of rupees belonging to the Church of Pakistan and for that they wanted a Bishop of their own choice.
They said that after the retirement of Bishop Sadiq Daniel in 2020, some ministers and other influential people in the Sindh government had been hatching up conspiracies against the Church of Pakistan and Diocese of Karachi through the AG.
