HYDERABAD, Dec 10: Awa-mi Tehrik chief Rasool Bux Palijo has said that after the separation of East Pakistan, the agreement between the federation and federating units has become null and void and a new covenant be signed between remaining units.

He was talking to party workers here on Friday.

He said the constitution and law have become misnomers in the country and human rights were being violated every where.

Mr Palijo said under a long-term planning, the entire educational system of Sindh was being destroyed, Sindhi language was under attack and urban areas have been handed over to terrorists while rural areas were in the control of bandits.

He said that on the one hand, all resources of Sindh had been usurped and robbery was being committed on the waters of the Indus to convert Sindh into a barren land.

He called upon the Sindhi nation including women to join one platform to protect the Indus River.

STPP: The Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party has strongly reacted to statement of the federal railways minister about reopening of the Khokhrapar-Monabao railway service.

In a statement issued here on Saturday, the spokesman of the party, Nand Lal Malhi, said almost the political parties and the people of Sindh were opposed to opening of the Khokhrapar route.

He said the opening of the route was not at all in the interest of Pakistan and Sindh and therefore the decision be rescinded.
