HYDERABAD, June 19: Central leader of the People’s Party Parliamentarians Professor N. D. Khan has said that opposition parties will launch a protest movement for the restoration of democracy in the country after signing the charter of democracy in London on July 2.
Party chairperson Benazir Bhutto would announce the exact date of her return the same day, he said at a workers’ training workshop, “Charter of Democracy — A new Chapter in Politics of Pakistan”, here at the Hyderabad Press Club.
He said turncoats would not be allowed to rejoin the party.
Prof N.D. Khan claimed that intellectuals, writers, lawyers and the leaders of civil society had already accepted the charter, adding that the document was the protector of the rights of the people.
He said that following the forthcoming general elections, this document would become part of the 1973 Constitution.
Mr Khan claimed that the charter of democracy signed by Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif was voice of the people and reflective of their aspirations.
He claimed that the document contained all the important issues, including provincial autonomy, judicious distribution of resources under the NFC award and other important matters.
There would be no place for corrupt people in politics following the implementation of the charter, he said.
Speaking on the occasion, former Khairpur district nazim Nafisa Shah said the country was in a grip of two major crises — the frontiers of the country were not safe and lives of the people were in grave danger.
She said the charter of democracy was a political document and added that the freedom of people was in its implementation.
The former nazim said every landlord in Sindh was enforcing his own laws and the people were being crushed under feudal laws.
Other speakers on the occasion were PML-N leader Afzal Gujjar, PPP leaders MPA Zahid Ali Bhurgari, Maula Bux Chandio, Pasha Qazi and Zulfiqar.
A local leader of the party, Pasha Qazi, organised the event.
WORKSHOP: Vice-chancellor of the Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences Jamshoro, Professor Jan Mohammad Memon, has said that with the increase in road accidents, establishment of trauma centres have become inevitable.
He was speaking as chief guest at the inauguration of a three-day primary trauma care instructor workshop held at the postgraduate hall of the university here on Sunday.
If immediate treatment was provided to the victims of road accidents, many a precious life could be saved.
He commended the services of the primary trauma group in this regard.
He was of the opinion that trauma centres should be established in each big city. He said the Sindh chief minister and health department had already approved establishment of a modern primary trauma centre in the Liaquat university hospital.
Speaking on the occasion, Prof Rasheed Juma said that so far 14 training workshops had been organised under the aegis of primary trauma group. Professor Aftab Qureshi also addressed the workshop.
