The disputes in Sindh are set to carry the head of the Legal Brotherhood’s anti-channel protests as the lawyers who stage a sit-in-protest on the National Highway in the Khairpur district have announced an indefinite boycott of the courts. The office carriers in Sindh High Court Bar Association and Karachi Bar Association, which led Sit-in Protest Camp in Babarloi, Khairpur, announced this decision before the press on Monday.

KBA’s presidential lawyer Amir Nawaz Warraich told the media that a meeting with the representatives of all bar associations in Sindh has decided to expand the sphere to their sit-in-protest by boycotting the courts. However, the plan to block the railway tracks in the province is exposed for three days.

“We have also jointly decided that if the federal government does not notify the cancellation of the channel project within 72 hours, we will demand that Pakistan Peoples People leave the government,” the lawyer said. According to him, another round of the lawyer meeting will be held on April 24, and after this meeting they will announce if they move on with the sit-in protests on the tracks.

Warraich estimated that two more locations of sit-in-protest on highways are added to take the total number of sit-ins to four in the province. According to him, Karachi lawyers are expected to choose a place for sit-in in their city, while the three locations include Babarloi, Dera Maur in Kashmore-Kandhkot district and Kamoo Shaheed, at the Sindh-Punjab border, in the Ghotki district.

“There is an impression that only the lawyers have protested in Sindh. To negate it, doctors will observe a day long strike over Sindh after one or two days,” he shared. Warraich said the federal government of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz should realize that the people of Sindh are making a simple demand.

“You have planned to experiment an unnatural process of irrigating a desert. It is an experiment that has already failed in India, UAE and South Africa.” The lawyer warned that Sindh’s people cannot allow the center to transform their province into a barren land in an attempt to fertilize a desert.

Separately, Shcba Hyderabad’s President Attorney Ayaz Hussain Tunio said in an interview with a news channel that after the 72-hour deadline, the blockade of the Rohri railway tracks, the Sukkur district. According to him, the meeting also discussed that interprovinsial traffic still finds some routes in the province and which must be closed. He said their camp in Babarloi has not been provided with sufficient security, and warning that in the event of an inappropriate event you SUKKUR and SSP KHAIRPUR will be held responsible.

Meanwhile, earlier in the day, the leader of Darya Bacyo Tehreek Syed Zain Shah and Qaumi Awami Tehreeks President Ayaz Latif Palijo had visited the camp in Babarloi to express support to the protesting lawyers. “What righteousness is it to make a province green by turning three others into deserts?” Asked Palijo. He warned the rulers of playing with unity in the country by preventing the river from floating towards Sindh.

Shah reiterated that the ruling elite not only has to interrupt the Canals project, but also the company’s agricultural plans.

The blockade of highways has not only affected the movement of interprovinsial traffic, but the people living in Sindh are also affected. On Monday, Sindh University announced Jamshoro, postponing the studies scheduled to start from April 22. “The new date and schedule will be announced when the situation of roads and highways will be normalized,” the circular reads.
