Protests Held in Tando Adam Against Israeli Atrocities and Canal Project from River Indus
Sanghar (Hasnain Ashiq Saand) Citizens from various walks of life held protest demonstrations in front of the Press Club Tando Adam to express solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine and to oppose the controversial project of diverting canals from the River Indus. A peaceful rally was organized by the National Peace Commission for Interfaith Harmony (NPCIH), Sanghar district. The rally commenced at Muhammadi Chowk and culminated at the Press Club. It was led by NPCIH Provincial President Sultan Khaskheli, along with Rafiq Ghori, Syed Faizan Shah, and Ghulam Jelani. A large number of citizens from diverse religious and social backgrounds participated, carrying placards and banners with slogans condemning Israeli aggression and expressing unwavering support for the Palestinian cause. Addressing the crowd, Sultan Khaskheli stated that Israel is committing severe human rights violations by targeting innocent Palestinian children and women. He urged the United Nations and international human rights organizations to take immediate action and ensure justice for the Palestinian people. “The issue of Palestine is not just a Muslim concern, but a matter of global humanity,” he said. The rally concluded with prayers for the martyrs of Palestine. Notable social and political figures including Asad Junejo, Ikhlaq Waryah, Dr. Amershi Kachhi, Mehrab Mari, and Rana Tasleem were also in attendance.
In a separate protest, the Rajput community held a rally against both the illegal canal extraction project and Israeli aggression. Led by Rana Nadeem Rajput, Rao Mustaqeem, Qasim Rajput, and others, this rally also began at Muhammadi Chowk and ended at the Press Club. Participants raised strong slogans opposing the canal project, calling it a deliberate conspiracy to render the fertile lands of Sindh barren. Leaders warned that any attempts to divert water from the River Indus would be met with fierce resistance, asserting Sindh’s rightful claim over the river’s waters. As a symbolic protest, demonstrators burned an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and demanded an immediate halt to the canal project. They also called on international organizations to take serious notice of the ongoing atrocities in Palestine and act to protect human rights.
