KHAIRPUR, May 6: People’s Party MPA Nawab Wassan has criticised demolition of Sindhi villages in Karachi. Talking to reporters here on Saturday, he condemned what he described as the murder of two villagers during a demolition drive on Friday in Karachi.

He alleged that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement ministers and city government Karachi wanted to accommodate non-locals by demolishing the old villages. People celebrating Jashn-i-Latif had actually used Shah Latif’s name to organize an MQM show, he said and claimed that the Muttahida had used the government resources and harassed Sindhi officers in name of Jashn-i-Latif.

He said the MQM was celebrating Jashn-i-Latif after bifurcation of Hyderabad and planning to divide Thatta.
