KARACHI, July 3: The women wing of the Pakistan People’s Party, Karachi chapter, on Monday staged a protest rally outside the Karachi Press Club against Sindh Chief Minister Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim and burnt his effigy for using indecent language against its MPA Shazia Marri.

Participants of the rally raised slogans against the chief minister and demanded an unconditional apology from him for issuing a statement containing indecent remarks against the woman member of the Sindh Assembly.

Ferzana Baloch, head of the women wing in Karachi, addressed the protesters and it did not behove the chief minister to use such a language against an elected MPA.

Instead of protecting the woman MPA, Dr Arbab, crossed all limits of ethics and human values although he happened to be the chief executive of the province, she said while referring to his remarks that, according to her, were aimed at defaming Ms Marri’s family.

Ms Baloch said if the chief minister did not desist from using derogatory language against respected MPA , the PPP women would stage a sit-in outside the CM’s House.

She also flayed registration of false cases against Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, Leader of the Opposition in the Sindh Assembly, and four other PPP MPAs, and demanded immediate withdrawal of the cases.a
