HYDERABAD, Aug 8: People’s Party Parliamentarians MNA Dr Fehmida Mirza has condemned the alleged victimisation of Awam Dost panel’s union council Nazim Ghulam Mohammad alias Dilbar Sindhi of Badin district and some party workers belonging to minority communities.

In a statement faxed to Dawn here on Wednesday, she charged that at the behest of a provincial minister, Badin police has arrested the UC nazim Tando Bago and other political workers in Badin.

Dr Fehmida demanded immediate release of the UC nazim and PPP minority workers and the withdrawal of false cases against them.
