SUKKUR, Jan 21: MPAs belonging to the People’s Party Parliamentarians have announced to launch a protest campaign and raise the issue in Sindh Assembly, after registration of cases against the Awam Dost panel nazims of the district council, Sukkur, and denying development schemes for their respective areas.

The MPAs, including Dr. Nasrullah Baloch, Syed Jawed Shah Jillani, Iqbal Dawood Pakwala and others announced this at a joint press conference here on Sunday.

They said that they would register cases against the District Nazim Syed Nasir Hussain Shah, and the naib nazim, Abdullah Ghumro, as they were pressuring the Awam Dost panel nazims to change their loyalty.

They further said that following the registration of cases against the Awam Dost panel nazims and ignoring their areas in the award of development schemes, they would not only take up the issue in Sindh Assembly but also launch a protest movement throughout the district.

JSQM: The Chairman of Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz, Bashir Khan Qureshi, has announced that his party will launch a protest movement against the government after Muharram.

Talking to party workers in Sukkur on Sunday, he said that the islands were the property of Sindh and nobody would be allowed to sell them to foreign companies.

Terming the arrest and missing of political workers violation of human rights, Mr Qureshi said that all the major political parties were tight-lipped over the issue, which itself was a crime.

He said that prime minister's statement to lodge FIRs for the missing activists was merely a lip-service and carried no weight.

He said that Sindh was passing through a very critical phase and urged upon the Sindhi people to join hands and launch a joint struggle.

He also demanded of the Sindh government to restore Sindhi subject in HSC-I classes.
