Tens of thousands rally in Gwadar for demands acceptance

Led by Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman, the Balochistan Gen­­eral Secretary of Ja­­m­a­at-i-Islami, the people of the port city launched the ‘Gwa­dar ko haq do’ movement 26 days ago, reports Asian Lite News

Tens of thousands of people, including women and children, marched on the main roads and streets of Gwadar in support of their movement launched for the rights of the people of the city in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, Dawn reported.

Led by Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman, the Balochistan Gen­­eral Secretary of Ja­­m­a­at-i-Islami, the people of the port city launched the ‘Gwa­dar ko haq do’ movement 26 days ago.

The participants of the procession started their march from Seratun-Nabi Chowk, carrying placards and banners inscribed with slogans in support of their demands. They were chanting slogans against the provincial government, the report said.

Addressing the participants on Friday, Maulana Hidayat said police and other law-enforcement agen­cies blocked the Coas­tal Highway at Uthal, stopping buses, coaches and other vehicles carrying people to travel towards the city as thousands of people from Karachi and other areas of Sindh wanted to join the sit-in in Gwadar.

Maulana Hidayat said that the participation of hundreds of thousands of people in the procession and the sit-in was actually a referendum against the provincial and federal governments and the people would continue their struggle and protest till the achievement of their rights which had been denied to them for a long time.

“It is the movement of the deprived and oppressed people of Balochistan comprising fishermen, poor labourers and students, which will continue till all their demands are accepted and implemented,” the JI leader declared.
