SUKKUR:The Shia Rabita Council and Waliul Asr Organisation held a protest in front of the press club of Sukkur on Wednesday against injustices meted out to pilgrims at Taftan border.
According to detail, the protest was led by council chairman Allama Ali Bux Sajjadi, Maulana Ghulam Abbas Jatoi, Maulana Asif Ali Askari and others.
The protesters alleged that the government was creating problems for the pilgrims, who intended to go to visit their holy places without any justification.
They said elderly people, women and children faced problems due to lack of facilities, including drinking water and food, at the Taftan border.
They also demanded of the federal and provincial government for providing security to the pilgrims up to Quetta so that they could reach their homes safely.
