Government Machinery since last two days. Many threats were deliberately on

people to walk on Karachi roads for the political rights which was created by

urban terrorists since 22 May. Congratulations to Awami Tahreek for this great

break through to collect thousands of people to make a great success of people

over terrorism. Hundreds of thousands people pay homage to martyrs of 22 May

in Lyari Usman park and stood against illegal orders of Government and threats

of urban terrorists. People all over the Pakistan largely lauded the leadership of

young dynamic leader Ayaz Latif Palijo and declare the 15th July 2012 as the

day of victory over terrorism.

Since the morning of 15th

July to the end of Jalsa-e-Mohabat Sindh, I got the

updates on Net in Quetta which is hereby shared in sequence of receipt just to

develop a sense of minutes of that remarkable and historical gathering.

http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-4-120598-Sindhis-Baloch-writing-a-new-

history-says-Ayaz-Palijo

President Awami Tehreek (AT) Ayaz Latif Palijo has said that the Sindhi and

Baloch people are writing a new history of the country by not surrendering before

the forces that have become tools of foreign elements and who want them to

leave the city.He was speaking at a public gathering organised by the AT at Gabol Park in

Lyari on Sunday. Earlier, the party had announced to bring out a rally and stage

a sit-in in front of Chief Minister House, but owing to the imposition of Section

144 they preferred to stay in Lyari.

10/12

Ayaz Palijo blamed the provincial government and former interior minister

Rehman Malik for the worsening law and order situation in the metropolis while

passing critical remarks against Muttahida Qaumi Movement.

He alleged that after the Karsaz blast at the welcome reception of Benazir Bhutto

in Karachi most of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leaders had run away to

save their lives, saying, at that moment only Lyariites and Sardar Abdul Rehman

came to the rescue of the slain PPP chairperson. But, unfortunately, Rehman

was later labelled as a dacoit and was killed in a fake encounter, Palijo said.

According to him, Rehman Malik was one of those who ran away from the blast

scene on October 18 (2007) but he was later inducted as the interior minister of

the country. Palijo claimed that a number of AT activists were also killed in the

Karsaz blast.

An almost similar situation was observed on December 27, 2007, when Benazir

Bhutto was assassinated in Liaquat Bagh, Rawalpindi, when the entire party

leadership escaped from the scene to save their lives, he said.

Ayaz Palijo further said that Sindhi and Baloch people were not afraid of anybody

and they would not surrender to the forces that had been threatening these

communities for their vested interest.

Some circles have been raising objections on my visits to Karachi and they also

want to see a ban on my entry into the city. Although Karachi has become a red-

zone for me, I would like to say that I will keep visiting the metropolis in future too

and no one could stop me or the AT activists from coming to this city, he

declared.

He said that Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry was not allowed to enter the

city on May 12 (2007) and was forced to stay at the airport, while the entry of


11/12

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf chief was also banned in the city and now the PPP-

led government wants to do the same with him in order to appease one of its

coalition partners.

But the Sindhi and Baloch people are writing a new history of the country by not

surrendering before the forces that have become tools of foreign elements since

we want a Pakistan which should be independent and strong and not taking

dictation from the foreign power, Palijo said.

How unfortunate it was when the lawyers were burnt alive in this city but the

police could not arrest the culprits and the government seems helpless in laying

hands on the criminals involved in target killings, he added.

Palijo said that the AT would not allow any division of the province, alleging that

the PPP-led government has been planning to create a new city with the name of

Zulfikarabad and they have also planned to connect that city with Gwadar so that

in future a new territory could emerge on the globe.

The provincial government is busy appeasing one of its allies who were involved

in the murder of Abdullah Murad, Munawar Suharwardy, Nasir Baloch and many

others, he alleged.

On the occasion, Palijo praised Uzair Jan Baloch, the leader of the banned

Peoples Amn Committee (PAC), saying: He (Uzair) and PAC have saved Lyari

and its dwellers.

He said that announcing head money on Uzair Jan Baloch, Zafar Baloch and

others was against the Constitution of the country, Palijo said.

Palijo warned that if PPP did not change its policies then the whole province

would turn into a red-zone for them in future. He alleged that two young Baloch,

who were coming from Malir to attend the event, were gunned downed by

miscreants.


12/12

He said that the AT has no issue with the Urdu-speaking people but the

nationalist party was against the policies of the MQM.

The police had placed containers on the roads leading to CM House at Shaheen

Complex and Club Road to prevent the AT and PAC activists from crossing into

the red-zone.

At least 4,000 personnel were deployed to meet any untoward situation.

However, realising the sensitivity of the situation, the rally participants did not

march from Lyari to CM House, as per the earlier plan, in memory of the May 22

Mohabbat-e-Sindh (Love of Sindh) rally who lost their lives by the firing of

miscreants.
