HYDERABAD, April 1 A large number of workers of the Sindh United Party held a demonstration outside the press club here on Wednesday in protest against Jamshoro DPO Farrukh Bashir, who according to them had unleashed harassment against party leadership and workers.


Party leaders Dr Dodo Maheri, Roshan Ali Buriro and Ameer Ali Thebo said that the DPO had launched an unannounced crackdown against the SUP activists from Thana Bula Khan to Bhan Syedabad.

They alleged that many innocent party leaders and workers had been arrested under false FIRs registered at different police stations. Even the crops of party workers were being burnt they said and cited a number of incidents as proof.
The party activists had sent complaints to the RPO a couple of months ago and also held a demonstration against the DPO but nobody took notice it and no action was taken against him, they regretted.

They appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take notice of police excesses in Jamshoro district and lamented that whenever PPP came to power, it had always targeted the nationalist forces.

A press release issued by police termed the SUP leaders' allegations against Jamshoro police baseless and said that police were conducting raids to arrest a criminal, Qalandar Bux Khoso, and the SUP's demonstration was aimed at mounting pressure on police and defaming it.
