5th Death Anniversary of Suharwardy Observed

Members of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) student of Peoples Student Federation (PSF) and Youth Wings protested against unemployment on the 5th death anniversary of Munawar Suharwardy, a former provincial information secretary of PPP who was assassinated.

Earlier, Adviser to Sindh Chief Minister Rashid Rabbani spoke at a condolence meeting held at the People’s Secretariat and played down the issue of unemployment. He said unemployment and joblessness has lesser importance as compared to the issue of terrorism. The unemployed youths belonging to People’s Students Federation and Sindh People’s Youth, however, insisted that their demands should be met and said that they were not satisfied with the government’s employment policy. PPP members and officials observed the 5th death anniversary of Suharwardy and offered their prayers for him. They opined that they will follow Suhrawardy’s footsteps and added that though he faced hardships, he never bowed down to the dictatorial regimes. Meanwhile, Sindh CM Qaim Ali Shah could not attend the death anniversary programme because the relevant authorities had not issued security clearance for his arrival at the scene. Deputy speaker Sindh Assembly Shehla Raza, Provincial Adviser Sharmila Farooqui, Najma Saeed Chawla, Waqar Mehdi, Rafiq Engineer, Ismatullah Khan, N D Khan, Suhail Abedi, Sardar Khan, Anwar Lal Deen and many other PPP officials attended the condolence meeting.
