HYDERABAD, Sept 18: The Sindh Hari Committee has condemned the attitude of the Mari gas field management against the local people and resolved to launch a struggle against usurpation of Sindh resources and water share.

This decision was taken at a meeting of the central body of the committee held at the Baba-i-Sindh House here on Tuesday.

Speaking at the meeting, SHC president Azhar Jatoi said the gas field management was committing excesses against the people and the ruling class was maintaining a silence on the issue.

He said false cases were registered against peasant leader Mandal Shar and his son, Jamal Nasir, to prevent them from raising their voice for the rights of the local people.

He stressed the need for forming an new alliance to protect the rights of Sindh.
