HYDERABAD: Qaumi Awami Tehreek president Ayaz Latif Palijo has demanded that all culprits in the murder cases of Jan Mohammad Mahar and housemaid Fatima Furro should be brought to justice immediately.

The vicious nexus between the government, pirs, and sardars had turned Sindh into a slaughterhouse of women and children, said Mr. Palijo while speaking to a journalist at a hunger strike camp organized by his party’s women wing Sindhiani Tehreek outside the local press club on Wednesday in protest against the murder of Fatima and Mahar.

He urged the judiciary and government to play their role against excesses meted out to women and minorities. He said influential persons were involved in the two murder cases.

Mr Palijo said a true federation solved all problems confronting the country. He said women, peasants, minorities, and laborers were not on the rulers’ agenda.

He stated that successive governments still needed to ensure protection for women. He maintained that waderas and ignorant men had been ruling Sindh unendingly. He said Pakistan needed a new social, economic, and constitutional charter.

He said the digital census had wronged Sindh, and a plan was afoot to usurp resources and political representation through that wrong headcount.
