BADIN: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) provincial secretary general Maulana Rashid Mehmood Soomro has said that after having failed to provide any relief to people during its 10-year rule in Sindh Pakistan Peoples Party is now staging farces everyday and employing ugly tactics to deceive people yet again into voting for them in general election.

The Maulana said at a conference in Tando Ghulam Ali town, 63 kilometres from here, late on Thursday night that PPP government had committed mega corruption.

Instead of being sincere towards people “PPP rulers are now using ugly tactics in their dirty politics of loot and plunder”. Sindh government had marshalled all resources at its disposal to manipulate results of the by-poll recently held in Ghotki district, he said.

“Once the caretaker government is formed many PPP leaders will part their ways with the party to ensure survival in the political arena. PPP has no future in Sindh because of massive corruption by the party leadership,” he said.

He lashed out at former president Asif Ali Zardari and accused him of disallowing sugar cane growers fair price of their produce. The little water there was in Sindh’s canals was being stolen by Mr Zardari and his cronies, he claimed.

He said that he would defeat the PPP chairman in Larkana because people of Larkana like the rest of Sindh had got sick of the corrupt rulers.

He said that if killers of his father Dr Khalid Mehmood Soomro were not executed the party would consider other options to record a vigorous protest. Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan had no future because people did not like his licentious lifestyle, he said.

SUKKUR: JUI-F activists took out rallies in Jacobabad, Khanpur Mahar and Hyderabad after Friday mass prayers to voice protest against indiscriminate bombardment on civilians in Syria.

Local party leaders said in their speeches that banned phosphors bombs were being dropped on defenseless civilians in attack on Ghouta which had killed hundreds of innocent people including men, women and children.

They said the United Nations had failed to stop war in Syria and demanded an end to atrocities against Syrian Muslims.

HYDERABAD: JUI-F held a demonstration against massacre of Muslims in Syria outside the local press club, making an appeal to chief of army staff to send troops to brotherly Muslim country to help hapless population.

The protesters’ leaders said that except for Turkey, all Muslim states and international organisations of human rights were silent over the human tragedy.

They appealed to Pakistan’s prime minister to play his role in resolving this issue and send relief goods and medicines to Syria.
