Larkana: On the call of Larkana Awami Ittehad (LAI) thousands of Larkaniens took out a “Corruption Mitayo Larkano Bachayo” rally here on Thursday. The rally, after marching though various roads, reached at the office of Mayor Larkana Aslam Shaikh and staged a sit-in the protesters included activists of Pakistan Peoples Party Workers, (PPPW), JSQM, JUI-functionel, JSM, Shia Ulmae Council, Shahri Ithad and others convener LAI Haji Munawar Ali Abbasi while addressing the participants, said that destruction of Larkana had been done willfully and the hometown of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto forgotten for obtaining personal gains by the rulers. He said, they were not other but the members of Zardari group. Molana Nasir Mehmood Soomro said on the occasion that, their protest was not against the Mayor Aslam Shaikh but against Zardari. He warned that even after this massive protest if conditions of Larkana are not improved then in next phase there will be Dama Dam Mast Qalandar responsibility of which will be on district and municipal administrations. He said larkana has been made a town of garbage where streets and roads remain submerged into sewerage water, heaps of garbage are lying everywhere and now in the name of removing encroachment residents are being rendered unemployed. He alleged that Mayor Larkana has embezzled huge funds meant for trolleys, sanitation staff and other employees. He said mayor Aslam must resign for his utter failure to maintain cleanliness in the city. He said the PPP has done injustice with people because Aslam Shaikh is a shop keeper who cannot serve the citizens because he is a incompetent and unknown to the problems of the city. He said Larkana has been ruined. Dr. Safdar Abbasi said that Larkana has been converted into the ruins by the rulers openly and daringly. He said due to a sorrowful song Bilawal Bhutto Zardari took notice of the issues faced by Larkaniens but no improvement has so far been made. JSM chairman Riaz Chandio said that the PPP leadership is in deep sleep due to which Larkana has been ignored. He said it also seems that there is no district administration or any municipal corporation because wherever I have gone, I found destruction. He said where is NAB in Sindh adding when NAB can put Nawaz Sharif in jail then why who has destroyed Sindh is still free. MPA Moazzam Abbasi said that such rallies and sit-in shall be continued till conditions in Larkana are not improved. He said our peaceful protest is can also change and than next assembly session voice will be raised about prevailing very poor situation of Larkana.
