Bureau Report


HYDERABAD, Oct 9: Haji Abdul Ghaffar Khan Dahraj, who is nazim of union council Mohbat Dero Jatoi of Kandiaro taluka and chairman of Nausharo Feroze’s district health committee resigned on Tuesday from the body’s chairmanship in protest against what he called inhuman atrocities unleashed by Jatois against the poor people of the district.

He said at a news conference at the press club that the superior judiciary should keep in mind that more atrocities were being committed in the interior of Sindh than in Islamabad, provincial capitals and big cities.

He demanded that the poor people of Naushahro Feroze should be allowed to live in

peace.

Mr Dahraj, who has applied for PPP ticket for PS-21, said that it was not possible for him to continue to work with Jatois, therefore, he was resigning from the committee.

He alleged that Jatois of Naushahro Feroze had made people’s lives miserable. He himself had been threatened with dire consequences for supporting the cause of the poor and had even been implicated in false cases, he claimed.

Mr Dahraj said that his grandfather, Haji Ghulam Nabi Khan Dahraj, had been a Member of Legislative Assembly from Nawabshah and a close associate of Quaid-i-Azam.
