KHAIRPUR, July 6: People's Party Parliamentarians MNA Manzoor Wassan has said that people are more interested in restoration of law and order in Sindh than in change of faces of the rulers.

Talking to newsmen here, Mr Wassan said that the bureaucracy was a hurdle in resolving people's problem, hence officials should not be posted in their home districts. He said that bureaucrats should not be appointed on the orders of ministers because they would work for ministers and their party members.

He criticised the attitude of police and added that people would continue to be victimized at their hands. Mr Wassan said that the accountability process was good but it was better if it was started from the ruling party. He said that if the opposition party was made accountable, it would be victimisation.

KILLED: A man was killed and his father was injured in a clash over a petty matter in Aziz Narejo village near Kot Mir Mohammad on Saturday. Wengan Narejo, Sahib Khan and other villagers entered dispute when they were joking with each other.

After an exchange of hot words, the two groups started firing as a result Wengan Narejo and his son Sahib Khan Narejo were injured. They were rushed to the rural health centre, Pir-jo-Goth from where they were referred to Sukkur where Sahib Khan succumbed to his injuries.

The condition of Wengan was improving. An FIR was registered against Raja Narejo, who is said to be relative of the victims and three others at the Faiz Bindo police.

CASE: The Ahmadpur police registered a case against villagers Ali Dino Maitlo, Mukhtiar Ali Maitlo, Jan Muhammad Maitlo, Hasoo, Asghar, Sado, Abdo Jagirani and Shabbir Jagirani for an alleged encounter with police on Sunday.
