Recognition: Activists of Larkano remembered
The reference “Legends Never Die: A Tribute to Three Legends from Larkano”, was organised by the PIF
Friends and colleagues on Monday remembered lawyers and activists Sobho Gianchandani, Muhammad Bachal Tunio and Abdul Ghafoor Bhurgari.
The reference “Legends Never Die: A Tribute to Three Legends from Larkano”, was organised by the Pakistan Intellectual Forum (PIF), said a press release.
Hashim Abro of PIF, in his introductory remarks, said “These legendary figures from Larkano were persons with outstanding qualities of head and heart. They had a sense of arts, folk and sufi music and always supported young lawyers and writers.” Gianchandani’s legal, intellectual and political contributions are an asset for the society, said Professor Bhajandas Rathore.
Advocate Khadim Hussain Abro said the three men’s works, particularly on Shah Jo Risalo, have been highly recognised and appreciated. He said they championed freedom of speech, peace and independence of judiciary. Participants also urged the Sindh government to establish a public park and three schools after the activists as a token tribute.
