HYDERABAD, Oct 21: A sacked policeman, Ghulam Rasool Dahiri of Thatta district, threatened to stage hunger strike unto death along with his three minor sons if he is not reinstated for which even the chief minister had taken cognisance a couple of weeks ago after he decided to sell his children.

“The chief minister Sindh took notice of plight when I decided to sell my three children and asked DCO Mirpurkhas to probe the matter and solve my problem”, he told journalists outside press club where he had come along with his three children on foot from Jhuddo, Mirpurkhas district after travelling for five days.

Looking exasperated and narrating his ordeal in a terse tone, he said that he just needs his reinstatement but no progress is seen after DIG police Sanaullah Abbasi called him a fortnight back.

Dahiri told journalists that he had been sacked from job for remaining absent for around 20 days and, according to him, it was done at the behest of the Shirazis of Thatta, in 1993. He said that he had been requesting everyone but his case was not heard.

“I have no source of livelihood and my children collect things from here and there to fill their bellies”, he said.

The ex-policeman was posted in Thatta district when action was taken against him.

A couple of weeks back Dahiri, a resident of Hayat Khaskheli village near Jhuddo, Mirpurkhas district, had offered his children for sale and then the chief minister took notice of it and the DCO of Mirpurkhas was appointed as inquiry office.

Then he was asked to appear before the DIG, who told him that he is sending his case to PPO Sindh but since then nothing could happen in his case.
