SUKKUR, April 12: Hundreds of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (Fazl) workers took out a procession here on Monday after inclusion of the names of 22 JUI-F activists, including Dr Khalid Mehmood Soomro, in the list of suspects terrorists.
Led by Maulana Abdul Haq Mahar, the procession started from Madressa Manzil Gah and, passing through different roads, reached the press club where the participants staged a sit-in for an hour.
The protestors were carrying placards, inscribed with slogans against the Sindh government and in favor of JUI-F provincial secretary- general Dr Soomro. Speaking on the occasion, Maulana Mahar said that the Sindh government had included the names of party workers in the list at the behest of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement.
Terming Altaf Hussain an agent of the imperialists, he said that after resuming power, the MQM leaders had lost senses. Saying that the JUI-F workers would bravely face the situation, he said that they did not fear the USA, the biggest terrorist of the world, so how could they be intimidated by its agents.
He warned that if the allegation against the JUI workers was not withdrawn, they would launch protest against the government throughout Sindh and also stage sit-ins outside the chief minister and governor houses.
