LARKANA: The district and sessions judge on Monday granted interim bail to former GDA MPA Moazzim Ali Abbasi against a surety of Rs50,000 in a case registered against him, his son and others at Dari police station. The application for bail confirmation would now be heard on Jan 13, according to Advocate Javed Buledi, counsel for the former MPA. Abbasi told media persons in a brief talk at the court that the FIR was merely a tool of political victimisation. Abdul Ahad Magsi, who was nominated in the FIR, had voluntarily surrendered but police were not producing him in the court and were still unnecessarily pressurising his father, he said. He appealed to Chief Justice of Sindh High Court, judges of SHC circuit court Larkana, Sindh chief minister and IGP Sindh to intervene and ensure Magsi was produced in court for remand in accordance with law. However, efforts of PPP MPA Sardar Khan Chandio, chieftain of Chandio clan, and Maulana Rashid Mehmood Soomro bore fruit in the shape of a settlement, he said. Moazzim Abbasi was accompanied by GDA general secretary Dr Safdar Abbasi, of JUI-F Sindh chapter general secretary Maulana Rashid Mehmood Soomro, Jeay Sindh Mahaz-Riaz chairman Riaz Chandio and others.
