HYDERABAD, Aug 18: Awami Tehrik chief and Sindh Water Committee president Rasool Bux Palijo has condemned bomb blasts on railway tracks in Nawabshah and Bulhari.

In a statement issued here on Sunday, he claimed that such activities were aimed at sabotaging the peaceful struggle of the people of Sindh against the greater Thal canal project.

Mr Palijo, who is a member of the Anti-Greater Thal Canal Action Committee, said that there was no group in Sindh which could benefit from such acts of sabotage.

He called upon the people of Sindh to continue their peaceful and democratic struggle against the Thal canal.

PROTEST: Islami Tehrik-i-Pakistan activists staged a protest rally and a sit-in outside the press club for the second consecutive day here on Monday against the killing of a doctor and two others in Karachi.

They also performed “Matam” and demanded that the killers should be sentenced to death.

Speaking on the occasion, Kazim Shah Naqvi, Nizamul Haideri, Moazzam Shah Jehania, Sher Ali Shah Kazmi and others said their community believed in peace and was opposed to terrorism but such incidents could lead to anarchy.

They appealed to the Shias and the Sunnis to beware of evil designs of miscreants.
