SANGHAR, April 16: Members of the local chapter of the Sindhi Adabi Sangat took out a procession from the boys college to the press club on Friday against non-inclusion of Sindhi language in the syllabus
of private educational institutions of Sindh.
They demanded that action should be taken against Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Karachi chairman for excluding Sindhi as compulsory subject. They said the UNO recognized children's right to get education in their mother tongue but Sindhi students were deprived of this right by gradually expelling Sindhi language from private educational institutions.
SAS President Aijaz Mangi, Allah Warayo Behan, Amer Leghari, Ustad Nizamani and others were present on the occasion.
DEMO: Activists of the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) staged a protest demonstration and observed a token hunger strike outside the press club on Friday against the conviction of party leader, Javed Hashmi.
Nawaz Sulehri, Umed Ali Rind, Rao Shakoor and others demanded that Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto should be allowed to come home. They said Javed Hashmi was falsely implicated in the case. They said Gen Pervez Musharraf had least regard for the Supreme Court. They said the court allowed Shahbaz Sharif to come back but the government created hurdles.
