Qazi’s entry into Sindh banned

Published October 19, 2001

SUKKUR, Oct 18: The Sindh home department has banned the entry of Jamaat-i-Islami chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed into Sindh, Dawn learnt on Thursday.

The ban on Mr Ahmed’s entry was said to have been imposed due to security reasons and to prevent him from taking out an anti-US rally in Jacobabad on Oct 23.

JI provincial chief Asadullah Bhutto, however, declared that his party “defies the home department’s ban”, and said Qazi Hussain Ahmed would lead the rally in Jacobabad.
