Mumtaz Bhutto’s son deplores police crackdown on protesting people

KARACHI:  Amir Bakhsh Bhutto, former provincial president of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Sindh, and the son of noted politician of Sindh, said in a statement on Monday that the Sindh government’s brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters in Bahria Town area on June 6, 2021 was strongly condemnable.

 

He said that when they raised their voices, they were attacked with shells, teargas and baton charge while innocent workers were arrested. This was a drama of sabotage and terrorism through the connivance of the administration and Bahria Town, he said.

 

Bhutto further said that political activists and the Sindhi people who came on their call cannot be terrorists and saboteurs and their arrests are a great injustice to the Sindhi people. He further said that the so-called elected Sindh government was protecting the big industrialists and the rich for the lust of wealth instead of supporting the oppressed Sindhi people.

 

“For 13 years, they have made more illicit wealth than expected by squeezing the soil of Sindh, but still their stomachs are not full. The people of Sindh should take notice of the anti-people attitude of the Sindh government and hold them accountable,” he urged.
