HYDERABAD, Aug 29: The chairperson of Pakistan People’s Party-Shaheed Bhutto, Ms Ghinwa Bhutto, said on Wednesday that the country had been turned into a police state due to non-existence of a true democratic system and urged the people to struggle for change.

She made the remarks while offering condolences to the family of party activist, Ghulam Nabi Channa alias Karo, who was gunned down by police in an alleged armed robbery two days ago in Latifabad Unit-7.

She blamed improper training of police for the recurrence of such incidents in different parts of the country and stressed awareness among people to struggle against injustices.

Ms Ghinwa said that police not only in Sindh but all over the country were required to be given proper training and urged the heirs of the deceased, Ghulam Nabi, to raise their voice against injustice.

She said that only political and democratic struggle could guide people to secure their fundamental rights but police were never held accountable in the country.
