SC asked to take suo motu notice of army operation
NAWABSHAH, Feb 27: Sindh United Party (SUP) chairman Jalal Mehmood Shah has said that his party would struggle for economic, political and constitutional rights of Sindh.
Speaking at the District Bar Association here on Tuesday, he said that the taking of suo motu notice on cases of judicial magistrate level, like kite flying, had become a common practice for the Supreme Court but no suo motu notice was being taken on suspension of the constitution or army operation in Balochistan.
He said that the setting up of more benches of the Supreme Courts was necessary for quick disposal of justice. He said that people would not get justice till the judges were appointed on merit.
Mr Jalal said that an independent election commission was must for real democracy in the country.
Criticizing parliament, he said that parliament was a floor to make legislations but unfortunately it had become a debating society only.
He said that no party had so far taken stand on restoration of provincial autonomy or for the rights of people. He said that destiny of the country would not change unless a common man understood the importance and value of his vote.
He said that the SUP would struggle for restoration of constitutional, economic as well as traditional rights of the people of Sindh.
He disagreed with some nationalist parties that casting vote was useless as it could not get rights. He further said that all the people living in Sindh were Sindhi if they struggled for the rights of Sindh.Speaking on the occasion, Nawabshah DBA president Ali Mohammad Dahiri recalled that the grandfather of the SUP chief, G. M. Syed had presented a resolution for creation of Pakistan in the Sindh Assembly and strived for getting rights of people of Sindh.
He further said that Mr Syed’s son Imdad Mohammad Shah also struggled for the cause of Sindh and hoped that his grandson Mr Jalal would continue to do so. He said that the people of Sindh were being ignored and deprived of basic rights.
Earlier, DBA general secretary Ziaul Hassan Lanjar welcomed the guests and presented Ajrak and Sindhi cap to Mr Jalal.
Later, talking to journalists at the local press club, Mr Jalal said that the army had no role in politics and the political parties would have to unite to oust the army from politics.
Answering a question, he said that if invited, he would definitely attend the multi-party conference being convened by the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) in London.
He said that his party was against construction of dams on the River Indus as it would affect Sindh.
He said that the clashes between two groups of students in Tandojam and Mehran universities were part of a conspiracy.
