Protocol simplicity: Former PM Jamali drives unnoticed on Karachi’s roads

KARACHI:
While Karachi’s roads occasionally clog to make way for VVIP movements, there is one former premier the city never feels the presence of.
Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali, who was prime minister from 2002 to 2004, believes in simplicity and says it is only God who will save him, not guards in a protocol. “It has been eight years since I stepped down but since then the government has not offered me the protocol of an ex-prime minister,” he told The Express Tribune.
But it appears Jamali does not like pomp and show. “I prefer travelling alone without disrupting peace of the city,” he said.
Jamali, the first Baloch to hold the office of prime minister, currently has four guards at his residence in the Gulshan-e-Iqbal neighbourhood of Karachi, while another four are deployed at his house in his hometown of Rojhan Jamali.
He also expressed dismay at the current trend of VIP culture and said that even during his government he would ask his protocol officers to avoid causing traffic logjams and blocking roads.

According to protocol officials, former president and prime minister has the right to demand a VIP protocol, which includes four police mobile vans, an ambulance, a pilot and a squad jeep.
“A security plan is drafted every time an ex-prime minister visits Karachi. We pick him up from the airport and from then until the minister leaves the city he’s our responsibility,” said SP Security Aijaz Hashmi
A senior official, asking not to be named, revealed that the government is bound to provide protocol to ex-premiers even if they do not ask for it. But the government has its own version of Jamali’s story.
Sindh Protocol Director General (DG) Dabeer Ahmed says that he was never aware of Jamali’s visits to Karachi.
“The level of security given to an ex-premier depends on the city’s security situation,” he said, adding that normally the cabinet division informs the provincial government about the arrival of an ex-prime minister prior to his visit. The protocol department, then, with the help of police and other concerned departments, makes security arrangements.
“We cannot do anything if Zafarullah Jamali does not inform us about his visits. We can’t force anyone to avail a protocol,” said Ahmed.
