HYDERABAD, May 13: The Awami Tehrik has planned a national conference in Bhitshah on May 21 to discuss burning issues confronting the country with special reference to Sindh. At its central executive committee meeting held here on Tuesday, it constituted several committees to make arrangements for the conference.

Speaking on the occasion, party leader Rasool Bux Palijo alleged that Sindh’s business, employment and water resources had been usurped.

He said feudal lords had been purchased and bandits and terrorists had been given free hand to aggravate the situation.

Mr Palijo said Sindh could only achieve its rights by launching a peaceful democratic struggle.

He alleged the entire country had been handed over to America just after one telephone call.

HESCO: Hesco has refused to accept responsibility for death of a young man, Babar, son of Haroon, who died of electrocution on Monday.

A spokesman for the company in a press statement said the deceased was working in his shop on litho machine and he died in his shop due to electric current.

He said miscreants exploited the situation and destroyed more than 1,000 meters installed on electric poles and ransacked the sub-divisional office Ilyasabad.
