MIRPURKHAS, June 5: MNAs belonging to the People’s Party Parliamentarians, Yousuf Talpur and Fehmida Mirza have denounced the arrest of the wife of party leader Jam Saqi. In a joint press statement issued here on Sunday, the legislators alleged that it seemed as if the police had become a tool in the hands of the chief minister, and nobody was willing to take notice of the atrocities being committed against the people of Sindh, particularly in Tharparkar.

They termed the arrest of Mr Saqi’s wife a glaring form of state terrorism, and said that the act needed to be widely condemned in the “strongest possible terms.”

They demanded that the party leader’s wife should be released immediately, and warned that the people of Sindh would not tolerate such treatment of their mothers and daughters.

The PPP legislators appealed to human rights organizations to raise voice against human rights violations in Sindh.
