Addressing the launch ceremony of ‘The State of Peasants’ Rights in Sindh 2020 report, prepared by the Hari Welfare Association (HWA), at the Karachi Press Club, the speakers expressed their concerns over the plight of agriculture workers, who were facing social and economic exclusion, expulsion from the agriculture fields where they worked and the non-payment of their dues by influential landlords.

SUKKUR: The police presented accused Syed Khursheed Shah before the Accountability Court Sukkur on Tuesday in a corruption reference of Rs1.23 billion along with 18 other co-accused, including his two wives, his nephew and Sindh transport minister, Syed Owais Qadir Shah, and MPA Farrukh Shah.
While talking to media persons outside the court, PPP’s leader Khursheed Shah said rather than pursuing the opposition, Prime Minister Imran Khan should ask the people about his government’s performance for the past two and a half years. He also asked the media to bring PM’s earlier statements and announcements he made during the election campaign, so that people could analyse the performances of the PTI’s incumbent government and they could also know how many promises Mr prime minister had fulfilled. He said the political agitation against Imran Khan should be carried out to take the masses on board and it should not be stopped.
