KHAIRPUR, Oct 27: Activists of the Sindh National Front took out a procession from the Mariam Toap chowk in protest against withdrawal by the Sindh governor of an order about teaching of Sindhi language in intermediate classes.

SNF leader Allah Warayo Soomro led the protesters. The protesters passed through the main roads of the town and staged a demonstration outside the press club.

They were carrying banners and placards and raising slogans demanding withdrawal of amendment in the language act.

Allah Warayo Soomro and other district leaders alleged that the MQM had hatched a conspiracy against Sindhi language. They alleged that the MQM did not want to solve the problems of the people of Sindh and was against the teaching of Sindhi language.

They said that the bill was passed by the Sindh Assembly hence MQM ministers should not interfere in it.

They said that the Sindh government had already changed the geographical status of Sindh through bifurcation of different districts and now they had moved against Sindhi language.

KILLED: Armed men killed one Din Mohammad Joyo, 24, resident of village Kamal Dero by opening fire when he was working in his fields near Baharo Gambat taluka on Wednesday evening.

One Bachal Jodh had kidnapped Ms Makhan, sister of deceased and forcibly married her.

Ms Hayat Khatoon, mother of the deceased lodged an FIR on Thursday against Mohammad Bachal, Bux Ali, Nazir Ahmed, Bashir Ali, Amjad, Asghar Ali, Bahram, Ghulam Shabbir, Rustam and Babu.
