| 50 Hindu families uprooted for Musharraf's rally: report | | |
Karachi, May 6
A former Pakistani lawmaker has appealed to the the Supreme Court to take suo moto notice of the uprooting of 50 Hindu families in the country's Thar district, accusing the Sindh Chief Minister of direct role in the incident, a news report has said.
Khatumal Jeewan, former Member of the National Assembly and leader of Pakistan People's Party, has appealed to the apex court to take suo moto notice of the uprooting of 50 families belonging to the Hindu Dalit Bheel community.
The families lived near the venue of President Pervez Musharraf's May 5 public meeting in Thar district's Naukot.
Jeewan said the local police raided a nearby village and ruthlessly uprooted the 50 families belonging to the Hindu community on Friday.
"The orders came from no one else but Sindh Chief Minister," Jeewan was quoted as saying by the Daily Times.
The PPP leader alleged that the Sindh government has started such atrocities against the innocent, poor and downtrodden people of Tharparkar on the basis of political differences.
