KARACHI:
Nationalist party Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz (JSQM) has announced a province-wide shutter-down strike on Wednesday.
JSQM workers along with the medical officers who had done the initial post-mortem on party chief Bashir Qureshi in Larkana arrived at Aga Khan Hospital with samples today, but were asked by the administration to come with a letter from the Secretary of Health.
The secretary instead of issuing a letter for Aga Khan Hospital referred the case to Government Chemical Lab near Civil Hospital. JSQM workers alleged that the samples had been changed at the lab and termed it a conspiracy.
The party has been demanding that the examination of post-mortem samples be carried out at a 'reputable' hospital like Aga Khan.
Talking to The Express Tribune, JSQM General Secretary Asif Baladi said they were followers of GM Syed’s philosophy and teachings based on non-violence, therefore the party would be observing a peaceful strike.
He said that the charge of acting chairman had been given to Dr Niaz Khalani, vice-chariman of the party.
The party will meet on April 13 to make some important decisions.
Larkana, Hyderabad and Sukkur boards have announced the postponement of Matric exams as a result of the shutter-down strike.
Leader of Sindhi nationalist party JSQM Bashir Qureshi had passed away in the early hours of Saturday in Sakrand after complaining of chest pains. The exact cause of death is yet to be determined.
Qureshi, a follower of iconic nationalist GM Syed, was en route from Sakrand to Larkana and reportedly complained of chest pains after dinner. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
