HYDERABAD, June 3: People displaced during the 1988-90 ethnic violence in the city held a demonstration outside the press club here on Sunday to protest against the inordinate delay in their rehabilitation.

Speaking on the occasion, Khamiso Khan, Mai Saran Baloch, Abdul Haq Qureshi and others accused the district government of creating hurdles in their rehabilitation.

They said that the politics of the MQM had been exposed. Cases of the atrocities committed by the terrorists in May 1990 and other material had been handed over to PTI chief Imran Khan, they added.

They urged the Sindh High Court to order a judicial inquiry into the terrorist activities of May 1990 as had been done in the May 12 carnage in Karachi.

Anniversary: The Shia Ulema Council, Sindh chapter, has decided to hold the first anniversary of Allama Hassan Turabi at Imam Bargah Shah-e-Khurasan in Karachi on July 14 which would be attended by the leaders of the council from all over Sindh.

The decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of the provincial council held at Lakhyari house, New Saeedabad, district Matiari on Sunday.—Bureau
