He said that this led to the arrest of hundreds of its workers along with the raid on the house of its chief in Jamshoro.

He said that while the government surrendered before the Pakistan Muslim League-N, it had also unleashed excesses against political parties in Sindh. He said the political activists in Sindh were being tortured and humiliated.

The rulers, he said, had adopted different policies at the centre and in Sindh as it was making reconciliatory efforts at one place and using state power against its opponents at the other.

The SUP was being targeted under a planned conspiracy with the registration of false cases against the party chief and workers, he said. Dr Maheri mentioned in detail victimisation of some of its leaders in Jamshoro district.
