LARKANA: Members of Sindhi Adabi Sangat (SAS), Mehran Engineer Forum Organisation and activists of Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party (STP) took out separate rallies and held protest demonstrations at Jinnah Bagh here on Sunday against what they called barbaric and brutal murder of an educationist Prof. Ajmal Sawand in Kandhkot.
Sufi artists and civil society also took out a rally and protest in Naundero demanding quick justice with the killing of Prof Sawand and end of stone age tribal conflicts and feudal system in Sindh.
SAS lit candles in front of Sawands portrait and showered rose petals. The rally was participated by Gul Dayo, Hamz Ali Sohu, Zahid Junejo, Aijaz Seetai, Dr. Tariq Soomro, Miskeen Arbab and others. They said that in northern Sindh as many as seven districts including Kandhkot-Kashmore, Jacobabad, Shikarpur, Kambar-Shahdadkot and Larkana tribal disputes have killed so many innocent people which has lately preyed on Prof Ajmal Sawand.
They said that tribal conflicts have become a cancer for Sindh due to which many areas have become no-go areas where education of children have been very seriously affected.
They demanded arrest of all chieftains of tribal disputing communities and punishment to them under terrorism act so that killing of innocent people could be stopped. and education of children could continue or else a massive struggle will be launched against this menace, they warned.
STP activists Naseer Kalhoro, Wajid Sangi and others strongly condemned the brutal murder of Prof. Ajmal and demanded capital publicly punishment for the accused. They said Ajmal’s muder is the murder of every educated society which needs to be curbed.
In Naundero, Sadruddin Shah Rashdhi, Noor Narejo, Ghulam Abbas Shah and others after protesting said that it’s very tragic that a well educated person from abroad has been gunned down over tribal clashes going on in lower Sindh unchecked by the rulers since years. They said that Sindh is the land of peace and there is no place for bloody tribal feuds.
They also demanded exemplary punishment to the perpetrators of the crime and elimination of the feudal system once for all to end killings of innocent people over petty issues.
