Leader of the Opposition in Sindh Assembly, Haleem Adil Sheikh Monday condemned killing of five people on a land dispute in Nawabshah and demanded registration of FIR against the influential political persons involved in the incident.

Talking to media persons at Sindh Assembly building along with PTI Parliamentary Leader in Sindh Assembly Khurram Sherzaman, Member Sindh Assembly Firdous Shamim Naqvi and other MPAs, he said that five people and a police officer were killed and relatives of deceased were on protest for more than 48 hours for registration of FIR. He said that victim families alleged Ali Hassan Zardari of involvement in murders and the affected families wanted to nominate Ali Hassan Zardari in the FIR that was their right, but local police was reluctant of adding the name of main accused in the FIR.

Haleem Adil Sheikh said that a community was on protest while keeping the corpses on National Highway but PPP Sindh government was paying no heed to their cry because they wanted to protect Ali Hassan Zardari.

The opposition leader demanded registration of FIR against the culprits at the earliest and strict action against the police officers who were not only denying the right to victim families but also supporting the oppressor. He alleged that two innocent girls were abducted and molested by influential persons belonging to PPP while Nimarta Kumari, Nousheen Shah and other female students were murdered in university hostels while Sindh government has failed to protect citizens, establishing writ of law and dispensation of justice to victims of violence and their families.

Silence of PPP chairman Bilawal Zardari who claimed to be a champion of human rights was deplorable and raises serious questions on his governance and sincerity to people of Sindh, Haleem noted.
