JSMM: Meanwhile, a large number of the Jeay Sindh Mutahidda Mahaz activists observed a token hunger strike in Jamshoro on Wednesday against the Kalabagh dam and greater Thal canal.
Party senior vice-chairman Samiullah Kalhoro and general secretary Asghar Shah led the hunger strike.

STPP: Sindh Taraqqi Pasand Party chairman Dr Qadir Magsi has criticized President Gen Pervez Musharraf for his statement that the people of Sindh are inefficient.
He regretted that Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali and Pakistan Muslim League-Q chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain had no respect for resolutions passed by the Sindh Assembly against Kalabagh dam and greater Thal canal projects.
Dr Magsi was speaking at the party’s central committee meeting held at the Taraqqi Pasand House here on Tuesday.
He said the rulers were going ahead with construction of the Thal canal and the Kalabagh dam despite the projects were rejected by the people of three provinces.
The STPP chief said this attitude of the rulers had created a sense of deprivation among the people of the smaller provinces which was reflected at the recent conference held in Peshawar.
He demanded that the Kalabagh dam and the Thal canal should be shelved as the majority was against the projects.
