DADU, May 26: The fast unto death by Ammanullah Zardari and Umed Ali Zardari, residents of the Jam Khan Zardari village, Mehar taluka, entered 31st day here on Thursday. They are observing the hunger strike against Tharari Mohabat police and local landlord for implicating six members of their family in a false case. The condition of the villagers is reported to be deteriorating.

Doctors examined them at the camp and provided medicine. Ammanullah Zardari and his uncle Umed Ali Zardari told reporters that Larkana EDO works Khaliq Dino Mirani, his two brothers Parwar and Murtaza and landlord Sarwar Mirani and SHO Tharari Mohabat police had registered a false case against their six family members to withdraw from 24 acres of agricultural land in Deh Radhan.

They said the police at the behest of the Mirani family had registered a case on the complaint of Shaukat Zardari. They said the police had arrested three family members Ali Hyder, Photo and Ali Nawaz and were pressurizing them to leave the land.

The SP investigation told Dawn that the police were investigating and if the case was proved false, it would be withdrawn. A large number of leaders, NGOs and political parties visited the hunger strike camp and demanded that the district administration should provide justice to affected villagers.
