OKARA, April 19: Tenants have nominated Liaqat Ali of 45/3R as the acting Anjuman Mazareen Punjab chairman and Shagufta Zafar of 4/4L as the acting secretary-general and launched a mass-contact programme in the villages on military farms to reinvigorate their struggle for “ownership of the state land that they have been cultivating for over a century”.
The move is being seen as a show of no-confidence against the old AMP leadership, as it has come in the wake of tenants’ rejection of a relief package offered by the government through the under-arrest AMP chairman Younas Iqbal.
AMP secretary-general Christopher John is also under-arrest.
Meanwhile, the wheat harvest is being stored on military farms as the local MPA has warned that defaulters would not be allowed to pick it up.
KILLED: A commuter was killed when a bus conductor allegedly pushed him off a moving bus at the general bus-stand here.
Three friends, Mohammad Sabir, Mohammad Ali and Maqsood Ahmad, had arrived at the bus-stand to go to Renala Khurd. Only two of them had boarded the bus (MNX-9667) when the conductor asked the driver to move on. Mr Sabir asked the conductor to stop the bus and take his second friend along. However, the conductor allegedly pushed him off the bus. He died on the spot.
The B-Division police have registered a case.
