Activists of the Sindh Rehbar Committee (SRC) recently observed a token hunger strike in Pakistan's  Nawabshah region to protest against alleged allotment and illegal occupation of land, construction of dams on Indus River, increasing crimes and the rule of dacoits.

Holding placards and chanting slogans, workers of the Jeay Sindh Mahaz and Jeay Sindh Quami Mahaz gathered outside the local press club under the umbrella of the committee, reported Dawn News.

Protest leaders Javed Umrani, Ali Raza Khaskheli and Mushtaq Leghari said crime incidents are increasing in the Sindh region.

They alleged land in Sindh was being allotted and occupied in the name of new projects, which was not acceptable at all.

They said the rulers were considering construction of new dams on the Sindh’s river, which would not be tolerated at any cost.

The protesters threatened they would spread their demonstration if the government failed to take strong actions as demanded by them.
