Larkana March Draws Thousands, Defies Section 144 Over Sindh’s Resources and Reforms

Organisers cast the protest as a defense of provincial rights, pressing for a judicial inquiry into weapons reaching bandits.

Overview

Demonstrators moved from Bakrani Road to Jinnah Bagh Chowk and held a sit-in after the march.
Participants turned out despite a local assembly ban under Section 144 and what organisers called fake FIRs, with many women and children present.
Speakers opposed the 26th and 27th constitutional amendments, the SIFC, corporate farming proposals, and new Indus canals and dams, alleging plunder of Sindh’s resources.
Awami Tehreek’s Advocate Vasand Thari said parliament has become a rubber stamp and claimed major national decisions are made outside the country, while demanding a judicial probe into weapons supplied to bandits and action against alleged patrons.
Separately earlier this month, JSMM chairman Shafi Burfat appealed to India’s prime minister to raise concerns internationally about Pakistan’s military and nuclear command.
