JACOBABAD, Dec 11: Jamaat-i-Islami (JI), Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI), Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) and People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPP) on Monday gave their voice to the growing opposition to the sale of Sindh’s islands and ejection of fishermen villagers from their ancient abodes.

JI condemned the sale of islands through a resolution at a public gathering held outside the press club, which was participated by a large number of JI and PTI activists.

JI leader Mumtaz Sehto said in his address to the gathering that the rulers had given a free hand to America to do what it liked with the country to ensure they perpetuated in the rule.

He charged that the government had passed the women’s law under American pressure. The law had made women even more unsafe and the tyrant more powerful, he said.

Hafiz Nasrullah Channa said that Gen Musharraf and his coterie had risked the very existence of the country at the cost of their vested interests. Resurrection of tribal clashes and karo-kari custom was part of a conspiracy to taint Sindh’s image, Imdadullah Bijarani said.

JUI: A general workers’ meeting of JUI at Jamia Masjid of Thull condemned the sale of two islands, proposed construction of Kalabagh dam, women’s law and army operation in Balochistan.
