SUKKUR, Feb 7: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (F) secretary-general Maulana Abdul Ghafoor MNA Haideri has said the government should provide jobs to Baloch people, instead of constructing cantonments in the province.
Talking to journalists in the Ahmad Shah village, near Thul, on Monday, he observed that unemployment was the main problem of people of the country, especially Balochistan.
He said his party's protests in the streets and the assembly would continue till relief was provided to people of Balochistan.
Maulana Haideri said the JUI-F would not support army action in Balochistan because it would not resolve the problem but create hatred among the people.
About the Kalabagh dam and the greater Thal canal project, he said his party was against construction of the projects.
The JUI-F leader termed the country's foreign policy a failure.
SPSF: Sindh People's Students Federation leader Najeeb Domki has said the Balochistan issue should be resolved through dialogues and not by use of force.
In a press statement issued here on Monday, he also condemned a criminal assault on a lady doctor in Sui. Comparing the Balochistan situation with that of early 1970s, he said use of force would worsen the situation.
LOOTED: A shopkeeper, Asif Memon, was deprived of Rs150,000 in cash by bandits in a bazaar of Moro on Monday morning.
PROTEST: A large number of people held a protest demonstration and staged a sit-in on the National Highway at the Baiji Chowk near Pano Aqil on Monday following the murder of an influential person of the Indhar tribe.
The bandits intercepted Gamno Indhar, who was riding on a motorcycle, in the kutcha area in the Gadpur police station jurisdiction and shot him dead.
The protesters, carrying the body, blocked the road for four hours. A heavy contingent of police rushed to the scene and asked the residents to end the blockade but they started pelting police with stones, leading to a scuffle. Police constables Suhrab Korai and Arif Chachar were injured.
The protestors claimed that the gang of bandit Gulzar Chachar was behind the killing and demanded arrest of the culprits.
