It is to inform you about this very sad news that 70-year old Farmer protesting with his family against influencial land lord of Sanghar died after 20 consecutive days hunger strike infront Karachi Press Club. More than 15 farmers including women and children belonging from village Essa Muhammad Khaskheli Taluka Sanjhoro District Sanghar reached Karachi and started hunger strike infront Karachi Press club some 20 days ago. They were protesting against influencial zamindar named Waryam and his armed men who forced these poor farmers to vacate the 14 Acre land (actually owned by Irrigation Department Government of Sindh). Some 120 households are said to be cultivating and earning from this piece of land for many years. But an influencial Zamindar Waryam and his armed men invaded and occupied on this piece.
On the death of this old farmer Ms: Sharmila Farooqi Advisor to Chief Minister Sindh blamed Human Right Organizations and Media. She said that Human Right Organizations getting millions of dollors why they not came to rescue? Where was media before the death? Why the matter was not brought to their notice by media? However Mr Babar Khan Ghori Minister of Shiping belonging from MQM accepted the responsibility and said that Landlords and Wadaras are taking the law in their own hands on their influence.
We condemn and protest against the silence of Sindh Government and want to ask the Police of Sangher District why they are providing shelter to such influencial landlords like Waryam and Nazir Thakur?
