HYDERABAD, Oct 27: The chief of Sindh Taraqqi Pasand Party, Dr Qadir Magsi has said that the September 11 terrorist incident had totally changed the political scenario and priorities of the world and added that fundamentalism and religious fanaticism were the other names of religious fascism which can never be accepted.

He was presenting political report to the 9th congress of the party at Taraqqi Pasand House here on Saturday.

He said that whatever was happening in the country today was the outcome of the wrong policies of the rulers pursued by them during the past 54 years.

He added that this was the backlash of using religion and fundamentalism by the rulers for the suppression of oppressed nations and exploitation of the people.

STPP chief said that in view of the prevailing situation the nationalists of Sindh will have to review their political stand and reorganise the nationalist movement to achieve its goal.

He said that today the priority of the community of nations was to end terrorism, fundamentalism and religious fanaticism.

He said that due to the prevailing global situation, Pakistan, Afghanistan, South East Asia and Central Asia will have to face the brunt.

Dr Magsi observed that the massacre of thousands of innocent people had nothing to do with Jihad as Islam was the religion of peace.

He said that the massacre of innocent people in mosques and Imam Bargahs was not Islam.

He stressed that fundamentalism was alien to Sindh, its traditions and culture and added that the province could not accept it.

He feared that the influx of Afghan refugees would destroy Sindh and demanded that their entry into Sindh should be stopped and they should be settled in camps on the Pak- Afghan border.

DEMO: Two dozen villagers of goth Mubarik Jarwar, Tando Allahyar staged a protest demonstration outside Hyderabad press club here on Saturday against land mafia.

Speaking at the rally Sahfi Khaskheli and Akber Manganhar said that Qasim Jarwar had previously occupied a plot in goth Mubarik Jarwar but no one had listened to their hue and cry.

They alleged that Qasim had now taken over the possession of another plot by force and deployed his armed henchmen on the plot.

They said that these rogues had blocked the pathways of the Khaskheli community and despite complaints to the Nazims of the taluka and the district no action had been taken against them.

They said that they had also filed a report with the Missan police station but to no avail.

They said if Qasim and his henchmen were not ejected from the plot, villagers will stage hunger strike outside the Hyderabad press club.
