KHAIRPUR, Nov 19: The activists of Sindh Hari Committee and Communist Party observed token hunger strike outside the press club here on Wednesday. They were led by Sanam Lashari, the daughter of arrested leader of Sindh Hari Committee and Communist Party, Comrade Ameer Bux Lashari.

Ms Sanam told journalists that her father was struggling for the rights of peasants for the last thirty years but, she regretted, that police raided his house and arrested him by falsely claiming to have recovered a Kalashnikov.

She appealed the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) to help her in this matter and demanded a judicial inquiry into the matter.
