HYDERABAD, Aug 16: Awami Tehrik chief Rasool Bux Palijo on Saturday urged the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take suo motu notice of the situation prevailing in the Sindh Agriculture University and initiate an inquiry against the university vice-chancellor.
Speaking to the university employees in Tandojam who had been on a strike for more than a month, Palijo said that a head of an educational institution, who failed to solve problems of employees, teachers and students had no business to continue to be the head.
He regretted that the entire academic process had come to a halt due to wrong policies of one man and called upon the Sindh government to take notice of a person, who was running a major educational institution like a factory.
Palijo said that Sindh was being destroyed under a planned conspiracy. The province had been deprived of its share in water and outsiders had been ruling it.
He demanded that the employees’ salaries should be released without delay.
Meanwhile, the university’s syndicate met under Vice-Chancellor Dr Basheer Ahmed Shaikh to consider the situation but details of decisions taken in the meeting could not be ascertained.
DEMO: A large number of Sindh National Front activists staged a demonstration outside the press club on Saturday in protest against delay in arrest of Benazir Bhutto’s murderers, rampant unemployment, corruption and price hike.The SNF leaders Mohammad Ayoub Shar, Mazhar Sehto and Hassan Shah Amroti said that the Zardari group had cashed in on Benazir’s murder but it had miserably failed in bringing relief to common man.
The same people who had murdered Mir Murtaza Bhutto were responsible for the murder of Benazir Bhutto, they charged. Lawlessness, corruption, price hike and unemployment had broken all records but the champions of people’s rights had done nothing to provide any relief to the poor during the last four months.
They said that innocent people were being massacred in the NWFP and Balochistan while criminals had been given a free hand. They demanded that Asif Ali Zardari should be held accountable for looting national wealth and other acts of malfeasance and misfeasance along with President Pervez Musharraf.
They said that the NRO should be revoked and Zardari should be made accountable for the loot and plunder. The jialas of today were not the jialas of Shaheed Bhutto. They are Zardari’s jilalas, they said.
They said that they had launched a movement throughout Sindh for the arrest of murderers of Benazir Bhutto from Aug 1 but regretted that they were not being given coverage by the vernacular press.
