Talking to a gathering of PPP activists here on Friday, she held the Faiz Mohammad Bindo police responsible for the dispute between the Katpars and the Khorkhanis.
She said that the SHO belonging to the ruling party was deployed at the police station for the last five years who should have been removed the day when five people were killed in the clash.
She said that a few days back PPP worker Roshan Bhand was killed in a clash between two groups of the Bhand community.
She said that the dispute in the Bhand community of Kot Mir Mohammad was ongoing for the last five years but no body had taken steps to settle it.
Ms Shah condemned the arrest of comrade Jadal Khorkhani, president of the People’s Hari Committee of the Khairpur district, in connection with the Katpar-Khorkhani feud.
