PPP Sindh President Syed Qaim Ali Shah, MNA Manzoor Wassan, MNA Fazal Shah Jilani, MPA Naeem Kharal, MPA Nawab Wassan, former district nazim Nafisa Shah, Sajid Bhambhan and Abdul Qadir Shah Jilani, the Pir of Ranipur, attended the meeting.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Wassan said official machinery was being used by the coalition partners for the local body election and transfers and postings were being made in the interest of government candidates.

He said Awam Dost Panel candidates for union council seats were being forced to change their loyalties.

They were also being threatened of registration of false cases of irrigation water.

The meeting condemned such acts and decided to lodge complaints with the chief election commissioner.

The board directed ADP candidates to file their nomination forms.

However, the board will officially declare the names of candidates later.

The body was handed over to his relatives after post-mortem.

One Fateh Mohammad Khaskheli consumed poison in Khaskheli village, Kotdiji taluka.

Unemployment was said to be the motive behind the two suicide incidents.
