Hidden hands busy fomenting religious extremism in Thar: Palijo | |
2017-09-11 | |
[DAWN] MITHI: Awami Tehrik chief Rasool Bux Palijo has warned that hidden hands are busy fomenting religious extremism in Thar and if they are not stopped, the entire region will turn into a hub of religious fanatics within no time.
He criticised successive rulers for failing to formulate strategies to face challenges. The rulers and corrupt officials were responsible for the poor state of schools across the province, he said. He deplored that on the one hand rulers were eyeing huge coal reserves in Thar to end energy crisis in the country, while on the other they did not bother to reopen hundreds of schools lying closed in the desert district. He expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... over declining literacy rate among girls and urged his party workers and supporters to press the government to reopen closed schools. "The rulers have deliberately kept people of Sindh in a state of utter backwardness so that they could continue to exploit them," he said. | |
