This was decided at a joint meeting of the Sindh Executive Committee and the Karachi Coordination Committee of the party at the Bilawal House on Friday.
PPP’s provincial chief Syed Qaim Ali Shah presided over the meeting, which was also attended by Aftab Shaaban Mirani, Taj Haider, Dr Safdar Abbasi, Jam Saifullah Dharejo, Agha Siraj Durrani, Dr Fahmida Mirza, Sattar Bachani, Rashid Rabbani, Waqar Mehdi, Dr Fida Mirani, Rafiq Engineer, Muzaffar Shujra and Lal Buksh Bhutto.
It was decided that protest rallies, sit-ins, etc. would be held in all district headquarters of the province.
The meeting described the government’s recent move to approach the Interpol as “yet another act of victimization of Ms Bhutto and her spouse.” It was resolved that such tactics would not deter their struggle for the empowerment of people against military dictatorship and democracy.
It alleged that the regime had resorted to continuing the media trial of the PPP leaders by implicating them false cases. It was pointed out that the regime had failed to prove any wrongdoing having allegedly been committed by them, and that courts had acquitted them in many of such cases honourably.
In SGS Cotecna case, two judges had to resign because they had refused to accept the government pressure.
Again in Switzerland, her point of view was vindicated when many witnesses did not support the government position before the Swiss magistrate, who had refused to recognize the officials of Pakistan government and asked them to leave. This had not only exposed the government’s lies, but also caused great humiliation to the country’s reputation, it observed.
