LARKANA: Activists of Pakistan Peoples Party-Shaheed Bhutto launched ‘insaf march’ from Jacobabad on Sunday, which reached here the same day, to protest against government failure to serve justice in the 20-year-old murder case of Mir Murtaza Bhutto and his companions.

The charged workers and sympathisers carried a mock ‘coffin of justice’ as they marched to Jinnahbagh where the leaders targeted former President Asif Ali Zardari and ‘his cronies’ in their hard hitting speeches.

They held Mr Zardari and then chief minister Syed Abdullah Shah responsible for the murders. Earlier in Jacobabad, the activists blocked the National Highway for a brief time before leaving for Larkana.
