The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) organized a large peace march that traveled across several towns of Sindh, culminating in Matiari where it turned into a massive political gathering. The march, which began from Hala Branch and passed through New Saeedabad, Barocho Bagh, Bhit Shah Mori, Khando, Khyber Sikat, and Baudero, was welcomed enthusiastically by supporters at every stop. Participants showered the marchers with rose petals, symbolizing both solidarity and respect for the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The peace march was led by JUI Sindh\u2019s General Secretary, Maulana Rashid Mehmood Soomro<\/strong>, along with prominent religious scholar Saeen Abdul Qayoom Halejo<\/strong> and other senior leaders. Upon reaching Matiari, the procession transformed into a large rally, where leaders delivered speeches condemning the worsening law and order situation in the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Addressing the crowds and speaking to the media, Maulana Rashid Mehmood Soomro voiced deep concern over the increasing state of insecurity in Pakistan. He stated that life had become unbearable for the common man due to rampant lawlessness, while those in power watched silently from the sidelines. \u201cThe rulers are behaving as if they are spectators to the chaos,\u201d he remarked, emphasizing that the government\u2019s inaction was pushing ordinary citizens into a constant state of fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Soomro highlighted that the police force, which should be protecting the people, was largely deployed for the security of feudal lords, ministers, and government officials. Meanwhile, bandits and criminal gangs continued to operate freely, abducting people and openly challenging the writ of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The JUI leader accused the authorities of deliberately misusing the police force. Instead of cracking down on kidnappers, thieves, and robbers, the police were being treated like private security guards for the elite. \u201cThe honest and poor citizens of Sindh are living in constant terror. They cannot even step outside without fearing for their lives,\u201d Soomro asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He further alleged that Sindh had effectively fallen under the control of dacoits, with organized gangs carrying out robberies and lootings. Not only businessmen and shopkeepers, but now even ordinary citizens, including children, were being abducted for ransom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Soomro did not hold back in criticizing the provincial and federal governments for failing to restore order. He argued that the current rulers should learn lessons from the political instability of countries like Nepal and Bangladesh, where weak governments and corruption had fueled unrest and disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe people of Sindh have been left helpless while the government has turned a blind eye. It is as if the rulers have abandoned their duty to provide justice and security to the nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the grim picture, Soomro assured the people that JUI would continue to stand with them. \u201cWe will not abandon the masses in their struggle for peace, justice, and dignity,\u201d he declared. He urged the citizens of Sindh to unite against the injustices they faced and pledged that the peace march was just the beginning of a larger movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The leader announced that on September 18<\/strong>, a massive rally would be held in Karachi under the banner of JUI. He described it as \u201cDhamaal and Dhamaka\u201d \u2014 an event that would send a powerful message to the ruling authorities. The Karachi rally, he claimed, would not only highlight the suffering of the people but also demonstrate that they were no longer willing to tolerate the rising tide of criminality and government neglect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The peace march was notable for the overwhelming response it received in every town it passed through. From New Saeedabad to Bhit Shah Mori, local residents welcomed the marchers with open arms. Crowds gathered in large numbers, raising slogans for peace and justice. The repeated showering of rose petals created a festive atmosphere, despite the somber messages being delivered from the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Observers noted that the march symbolized both public frustration and a yearning for change. In many rural and urban centers of Sindh, citizens feel abandoned by the state, forced to rely on their own resources for protection against criminal networks. The peace march was therefore not only a political demonstration but also an emotional outlet for communities burdened by insecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sindh, particularly its rural districts, has for years struggled with the menace of dacoits, armed gangs, and organized kidnappers. Law enforcement agencies have often been accused of inefficiency, corruption, or complicity with criminals. The situation has worsened in recent years, with frequent reports of highway robberies, extortion, and kidnappings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Analysts point out that while urban centers like Karachi deal with street crimes and gang violence, rural Sindh is plagued by a different kind of lawlessness, where heavily armed groups dominate certain areas. Political interference in policing, coupled with weak governance, has further eroded public confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JUI\u2019s peace march, therefore, tapped into widespread anger. Its leaders cleverly linked local grievances to broader national concerns, arguing that unchecked lawlessness in Sindh was part of a larger failure of governance across Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The JUI\u2019s peace march in Matiari was not just a routine political rally. It was a sharp indictment of the government\u2019s inability to protect its people and a bold attempt to mobilize the masses around the demand for peace and justice. By highlighting police misuse, rampant kidnappings, and the plight of ordinary citizens, Maulana Rashid Mehmood Soomro and his fellow leaders sought to channel growing public frustration into political momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the party prepares for its much-anticipated rally in Karachi on September 18, the question remains whether this movement can translate into tangible pressure on the government or spark broader political realignment in Sindh. For now, however, the peace march has succeeded in making headlines and amplifying the voice of communities long ignored in the corridors of power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) organized a large peace march that traveled across several towns of Sindh, culminating in Matiari where it turned into a massive political gathering.
