Landlord gets SPO suspended: HRCP

MIRPURKHAS, Oct 31: The coordinator of the HRCP’s core group for Mirpurkhas, Kanji Ranomal Bheel, has condemned the suspension of SPO Wahid Khoso of Jam Nawaz Ali and said he that he has been suspended after landlord Thakur Nazeer Kaimkhani used his connections.

Talking to journalists, Mr Ranomal said that SPO Khoso had taken legal action and bravely raided the secret places and farmland of landlord Thakur Nazeer Kaimkhani and recovered peasants from his illegal confinement.

He said that the SPO Abdul Wahid Khoso worked impartially but the Hyderabad RPO suspended him after the influential landlord approached some high-ups.

He said that still 75 bonded labourers were in illegal captivity of the above landlord and deplored that instead of taking legal action and arresting the landlord, his son and their henchmen, who had been nominated in the case of kidnapping and torturing the labourers, SPO Khoso was suspended so that no police officer should take action against the culprits in future.

Mr Ranomal called upon the Sindh police chief to take notice of the transfer d of the SPO.

Meanwhile, the condition of three elderly peasant women, whose hunger strike unto death entered fourth day on Friday, deteriorated and they were provided first aid.

Tejan, Hakiman and Hurmi had been released from the farmland of Kaimkhani and demanding recovery of remaining 75 bonded labours who were still in illegal captivity of the landlord.
