HYDERABAD, Jan 26: The Sindh Taraqqi Passand Party severely criticized the Sehwan police (Dadu) for arresting protesters who had taken out a rally for the employment rights of the local population in a multi-national company, LASMO, in Dadu.

In a joint statement issued on Saturday, Taraqqi Passand leaders Ali Hassan Chandio, Saleh Junejo, and Muzaffar Kalhoro said that the local people of Sindh had the first right over jobs in all the public and private sector organizations working in their areas.

They said that LASMO Company had recruited 3,500 employees out of which 3,200 were outsiders.

They said that this was not only cheating the job opportunities of the Sindhi people but also a flagrant violation of the law which would not be tolerated.

Condemning the arrest of the peaceful protesters, they said that the voice of reason could not be suppressed.

They warned the LASMO Company and Sehwan police to change their attitude failing which a protest movement would be launched against them throughout the province.

CPP: The central leaders of the Communist Party of Pakistan (CPP), Imdad Qazi and Sadiq Jatoi, have been selected by the party to attend the Communist Party of India and Communist Party Marxists congress scheduled to be held at Andhra Pradesh from March 19 to March 24 and Karnataka from March 26 to March 31 respectively.

They have been nominated by the party to attend the congress on the invitation of the two communist parties of India.

According to party sources, communist leaders from 60 countries will attend the congress which will discuss the American strategy against terrorism and religious extremism.

The congress is also expected to establish a new world centre of all the communist parties of the world to challenge the globalisation designs of imperialists.
